The hotter you run it, you will burn off condensation?
Well, science says that water don't turn to steam until 212 degrees. And if you run it to turn water into steam, you are also going to have a hard time seeing out of the windshield in a Model A because coolant will be dripping off that wind screen all over the pretty paint.
I think Model As need to warm up or the carburetor's venturi effect doesn't work as well. That is why there is a flat pad on the intake manifold touching the exhaust manifold. This heats the carb base. In cold weather when the engine isn't warm, the car runs poorly. Later cars installed heat risers for this fact.
On my car with dual downdraft stromberg carburetors, the carbs hang out in the breeze with little heat transfer out to the venturi walls. On cold days in that car, driving with the throttle open actually causes icing of the carbs, reducing power.
So, that is a long winded way of saying, Yeah, you need to warm up the engine, primarily so that it will run efficiently, but I also think anything below 212 is great to me! Mine usually runs around 140 in the winter.
