Going 45 miles an hour in that would be terrifying.

My grandfather took his father for a ride in a Model T in North Dakota. They got up to the unheard of speed of 25 MPH. My great grandfather said the fence posts were going by like teeth on a comb!
@alg003
Fun fact: Henry Ford was actually strongly against ending production of the model T and replacing it with something newer, and better. But eventually demand got so low from a lack of buyers who either already had one, or had something better, he was later forced too stop making it.

The narrower-than-some-bicycle tires will always be the strangest part to me
@Uneedhelp91
You can probably build one of these today with some metal, springs tires and an engine from harbor freight.
@CaesarSeriona
My favorite flex of the T is that it can use any fuel as long as it's not mixxed.

My dad restored a 1922 Ford Model T convertible. He bought it inoperable when it was not even 50 years old. My dad still has it and it is fully restored and driveable at 102 years old

Cooking down the road at 25mph , bumping on 24's

Everyday at the Henry Ford Museum in Deerfield MI , the set out the parts to build a Model T. Visitors can work on putonghua it together. You don’t need to be a member of the UAW either! 😊

Those rims are huge! Way ahead of the trend.
@JustWasted3HoursHere
The design is actually quite clever. For example it doesn't require a fuel pump because the carb is fed by gravity. It is ultra easy to work on too,* by necessity since there were very few repair shops at the beginning. Blacksmiths around the country gradually converted to repair shops and/or dealerships since the number of horses being used began to steadily drop after the introduction of the automobile. * Driving it, however, is quite an experience! One does not just jump in the driver's seat and take off like you can in a modern car. Many things do not operate automatically such as timing advance, and the gear shifting is weird.

MY mother, who is age 90.... remembers in the 1940's, her father only had a Model T! She was so ashamed. But his car died, and it was WWII, and all he could get was a Model T. Then her mother became ill and she went to live with her aunt in NY state, and after her mother was better her father drove the T from Baltimore to Peekskill, and then loaded her up and back again! To this day she will tell anyone how horrific that drive home was!!

That dipstick reminds me of the Trabant, where one of the options was a fuel cap with an integrated dip stick
@turinturambar8622
I've got to get my '29 Model A running again, such a beautiful car ut it's way
@thesturmvogel6359
You actually dip the tanks to see how much fuel you have Me, a commercial pilot: haha yeah guys so primitive hahahahaha
@keithdenyer3937
Then the pedals in the wrong order and half way up for one gear? and oh and the brake lever which i think was also neutral. And choke in the grill ! Advance timing is on the steering. How so many people drove them is a mystery.
@matthewwalker9256
I love that not only are you sitting on an eight gallon bomb but that you’ve also got a flaming stick on the floor too. Awesome videos.
@fudgerounds91
The implication that you could even get one of those things fast enough to even get a ticket is hilarious.
