The purpose behind the 85MPH speedo was intended for encouraging motorists to conserve energy as a result of the American energy crisis of the mid 70s - mid 80's era... It had nothing to do with speed or safety.... Was it effective? heck no, it was nothing but a stupid gimmick from the very start.

Jim Farley, Ford president and CEO, wrote in social media postings Tuesday, May 23, 2023 that the company is reversing a decision to scrub the AM band after speaking with government policy leaders who are concerned about keeping emergency alerts that often are sounded on AM stations.
