General Speed

[71Fiat500F]

For those of you with stock 500 engine/box: what speeds are you cruising at safely? I’ve taken a few short road trips at various miles, and I just don’t want to push this little motor too hard.
The picture is just for fun, I’m not trying g to illustrate anything by it.

Mine seems happy at 50 to 55 mph, it will sit at 60 (according to the speedo but in reality I imagine it is a way off) but it does get a bit noisy so not sure I would want to do that hour on end.

I’ve downloaded a speedometer app on my phone that is maybe a bit more accurate. My ‘71 500 f seems to like 50-55mph, but not too much more. I’ve driven it for an hour or so at these speeds but I think 55 is even a bit high.
Thanks for the input. Curious to see what others are getting.
