Nice video. Brings back memories of my dream summer job, driving a 1927 model T truck body 30 miles round trip 5, days a week for 3 months, as a promotional vehicle for Butchart Gardens in Victoria BC. The owners of the Gardens were adamant to keep the “T” as original as possible. So no modern brakes or upgrades. Once I got the hang of it, driving in traffic was a snap.
My grandfather had a Model T, the only car he ever owned. Working on a railroad, he didn’t need a car much. However they said it was driven from WV to Richmond VA, through the Allegheny mountains. 3 days for what’s now an 8 hour trip, needing brakes and oil changes throughout the trip.
So COOL!......I'm an old timer,....I'm 70 in 2024. My Pop was born in 1911,.....and my Mom was born in 1922. ( They are both deceased) Mom shared her stories about life in America when she was 10 in 1932. Her father owned a deli in Cleveland, Ohio. That meant they were fairly well off, financially. They regularly had a hired "driver", who operated their auto. Back then they didn't call them "cars". They referred to them as Automobiles, or sometimes a basic term like "the machine". Woman often weren't allowed to drive, or they preferred to have a male, usually their husband, operate the "machine",....because before the "electric" starter, it took a bit of upper arm strength to hand crank the engine. Women wore a lot of nice clothing, that was confining, to their arms. Those early autos, didn't have heaters, in the passenger cabin, or side windows. So in most parts of the country one had to wear a lot of clothing to keep warm. September thru June. I'm not sure if the early autos even had windshield wipers.
Pretty cool. My late father, and other oldtimers told me many stories about their model T Fords. And, I had to laugh- Talking on the phone, eating a sandwich… apparently distracted driving is nothing new. Too funny!
When you come out to visit, I'll put you in a Model T and spend some time with you and you'll get the hang of it easily. But plan on making a day of it!
I don't understand why modern car engines can't run on variable fuels. Diesel gasoline it shouldn't make a difference. Just map out the firing positions or how ever they do it.
Next we need a 1886 Benz!!!!!
And it shoud pass the huge freken bottle tes
I want to see a 1886 benz on the road
Someone funds this Germany trip, it’d be awesome

Ive been WAITING for a model T review lets GO!!
i live about 20 miles from this museum and it's absolutely worth going, especially in the summer with the additional barns open

Zack, this is AWESOME!
Many thanks!
In my very long life, I always wanted a model T and never had one. It deserves all the fame it got over the years.
Whoa! This is a review I would have never saw coming.
When you come out to visit, I'll put you in a Model T and spend some time with you and you'll get the hang of it easily. But plan on making a day of it!
And get a pedal cam too!
Still newer than the R35 GTR
The legendary Model T!!!!!
Made me smile.
I drove one at the Reynolds museum in Alberta. What a great experience.
Awesome Zach! My friend has a model A. Awesome video!
I’ve heard how weird the controls are on these early cars, thanks for the diagram!
Yay
I am glad you are driving a bottle tea
I will repeat again. You are living the life.
You did great!
