Moving fast enough wasn't the problem back then, it was being able to stop. And unlike a wagon where you could use a drag shoe to use going down hill, these trucks with the mechanical brakes would heat up and fail. It would be the 30's before most carmakers changed from the cable-operated mechanical brakes to hydraulic brakes with Ford becoming the last to change in 1939.
