I had a 250 in my last '49. Drove it every day, everywhere. Of course, I had an automatic and high gear rearend. I could cruise the freeways and keep up with the V-8 guys (as long as they didn't punch it!). Did it that way 'cause I liked the original look, but wanted something easier to get parts for. Also I was given 2 250's. For $150 worth of machine work, I had a running engine.
