These cars look like their hard to drive. Must suck if somebody chasing you, you get into the car and say wait I need to get out to start. only you don't have time since your life in danger. Would love to see a someone make an automatic version of this car.
Nice brassy you got there. My dad had a 21 pickup and every summer we took it on the parade circuit across the Iron range here in MN. didn't know you could use a VW distributor we always had the old wood coils and I miss the buzzing sounds they made.
This is so cool! I'm taking a Model-T driver's training at the AACA Classic Car Museum in Hershey, PA, next month (July 2024). It's a four hour course. $160 bucks. I'm so excited. 😅
Awesome video! My dad was born in 1922 and learned to drive in Dodge City, Kansas. He told me his first car was a well worn Model T. He told me he paid 40 dollars for the car and 40 cents for the driver's license as a teen.
So it kinda does work like a lawnmower. You got the clutch and gas controller to accelerate and then once your in high gear, you just use the gas thing to adjust speed. This may not be easy to operate like a modern car, but it sure looks fun to drive
I took driving test in a old 1950s right hand drive, sliding door postal Jeep. I loved it. I drove it for two years until I bought my Chevy II. It was a fun car.
I've never seen a car with more ways to hurt you before you even move it lol. No one has ever been like "now be careful when you start it or it could break your arm/thumb" when i've hopped in there car.
Great video! Glad I don't have to put up with all that! BTW, I think the reason Henry made the model T left-hand drive was because he was left-handed, and wanted to use his strong hand on that handbrake!
My Dad came to America in 08 at 15 and he eventually got a Model T. He once missed the bias and banged into a tree. He took it to a blacksmith and had the fender straightened. Eventually he and his buddy that came from Europe with him decided to go to LA. They set out in the Model T and I'm not sure how far they got, but a farmer traded the Ford for a train ticket to LA and the rest is more history. What a great moment for me. Thanks!
Yeah…the brake, such that it is. Using reverse to stop a T had one caveat. When the T stops get your foot off the reverse pedal immediately or you will reverse.
Watched a similar video he pulled pulled pulled part 2 pulled pulled pulled starter was better idea ? Saw a v 16cad w a crank ?? T s werent really a car just a great idea 😅
You prime it with the right hand. You start it with the left hand. I can't wait until it kicks back while he starting it with his right hand. Broken wrist!
I know im gonna have to drive one of these eventually so im watching this and still barely understand how to drive it. I know how to start it atleast. Why couldn't henry make this thing normal like the model a?
Excelente explicación, te felicito

I should be working... but hey... model T
Wow, a German Bosch distributor in a model T, looks like the one in my 1969 Alfa Romeo.
There is a reason so many of the T models had so many bashed-up fenders back in the day...

where's the push button start like my car has? We have come a long way, baby
Way too many steps and things to remember! I'm just sticking with my horse, thank you very much.
Best video before you take your first ride on a model t. Thank you very much. This helped a lot!
Hats off to Henry Ford😊

no wonder why Henry Ford's wife drove a Detroit Electric
If you stahl the engine do you have to get out and start it again?
I wouldn’t pull the crank like this. The guy is going to break his arm. The Ford driving manual tells you how to actually pull the crank.
How to shift at 4:00
Why did they do it this way? I mean, I get it, we have hindsight and these were trailblazers but, why so complicated? Was it necessary in their mind?
I can't wait to steal my first model t
THE LICENSE PLATE OHIO
As the old timers once told this old timer its practical to learn reverse in this car when you encounter a steep hill.
My grandad has one 1923 ford model T
Excellent video and explanation. Outstanding. This might be fun! Congrats from a Brazilian Model 'Aer,
unlike today you had to have a functioning brain to drive
I wonder how many people, horses and dogs were ran over in them days when the driver would panic and forget the sequence to stop.
❤❤❤

drove one. loved it.

Always curious about how to operate one. I will never complain about having to replace my starter motor again.

My mom had to drive a Model-T 250 miles on the highway without any brakes, back in 1942. Can't imagine doing that today!
if you crash you will get a nice bolt indentation in your forehead
Swear I can drive it now with your instructions. you explain perfectly
Thanks, I think I'm going back to horse and buggy.
Got it.
Amazing, really wish there were some modern cars built the old way yk?

What people must have thought going from a Horse to this
Yeah…the brake, such that it is. Using reverse to stop a T had one caveat. When the T stops get your foot off the reverse pedal immediately or you will reverse.

Model T foot peddles.......... Not the best idea from Henry Ford!
What power engine do model Ts have? Many owners either go to an engine builder for a high powered engine or install a supercharger
You prime it with the right hand. You start it with the left hand. I can't wait until it kicks back while he starting it with his right hand. Broken wrist!
Whats the thing mounted below the steering wheel?
Get a horse!
I would love to show up to a dmv for a driving test with one of these lol. That would of been great when I was 16 lol
原來以前人都會跟趾
I know im gonna have to drive one of these eventually so im watching this and still barely understand how to drive it. I know how to start it atleast. Why couldn't henry make this thing normal like the model a?
I can smell the gas through my screen
