Ford had been giving the society their quality and latest innovations that have been making life simply accessible and easy. It is amazing how these cars are assembled, thumbs up!
The first automobile to be built on an assembly line was the 1903 Oldsmobile. Ford didn't start using an assembly line until 1913. The Model T was sold in several different colors (although most of them were black). There was never any witness to Henry Ford making a statement about the Model T only being available in black. At 1:33, you refer to the Model T as the “Model A”. You said the Model T had to hand-cranked. There were electric starters available as an option almost from the beginning.
MY BROTHER HAD A MODLE T WHEN I WAS ABOUT SIX THAT WE COLLECTED METAL FROM THE OIL FIELDS TO HELP OUR FAMILY LIVE. I WAS THE TENTH CHILD BACK IN 1932. THINGS WERE SCARCE BACK THEN ,ESPECIALLY FOOD. GOD BLESS BY HARD WORK AND BEING INDEPENDNT AND NOT RELYING ON THE GOVERMENT TO TAKE CARE OF US WE SURVIVED AND ALL OF MY FIVE BROTHER AND I WAS IN WWII. I WAS ABOARD THE USS HANCOCK CV.19 ON OUR FRIENDS A KAMAKASI POILET VISITED US. RALPH IN TEXAS. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
I got a Ford Taunus 1970, this is a true friend with a long history even don `t know his story and how he came to my country. if the car was able speak probably would have been fascinating history.
Most people don't even know the word VANADIUM but it was Henry Ford who first noticed the steel strengthening ability of this additive and all Model T's and all cars ever since have used vanadium in their steel. Vanadium is now poised to revolutionize American industry once again. Read about it at our website.
@sqccccccccc Because my fellow American's don't take pride in there work anymore and, think that they have a right to something when in fact they have no entitlement to anything and are being spoiled children.
@BENNYSIEGEL90 >.> it was his choice as a business man which he later apologized for. If your going to rage at ford why don't you rage at this "Mitsubishi zero" for killing tens of thousands of Americans, or through your view on life we should be mad at someone was a known philantropist who renounced his ways or the car company which never brings up its greatest success a American killing machine. ignorant asshole
@moonsnooker "The documentary evidence to support such a claim remains open to interpretation, and Pearse did not develop his aircraft to the same degree as the Wright brothers, who achieved sustained controlled flight." said wiki article
@crappingmonkeyface Henry Ford made life ten times better. Without Henry Ford, we wouldn't have sports cars, police cars, ambulances, because that would have been an idea too crazy to think of.
@legoman5188 Are you retarded man? HAHAH seriously your so fucking DUMB, the CAR was INVENTED in EUROPE by Carl Benz. Sports cars = Europe, Ambulance service and so on is from Europe aswell. So dont praise Ford but Benz tardo.
@legoman5188 Nah your just a dumb american, hate stupid yankies that take our inventions as "theirs" like we invented the telephone, the computer, the car, motorbike, subway, railroad, submarine, thank us for NASA, the atomic bomb, the lightbulb, hamburger and pizza just for example. Also the US economy SUCKS, US food SUCKS and European cars are the best in the world. You LOOSE
@Fakkmalmoe America does suck. We fight pointless wars, people hate and mock our allies, and british cars are better, and faster. The only good times I can think of America was the fifties, because that's when we took care of ourselves. American cars, dealers, good times, music, everything. Now everything is imported. But you guys may have invented the computer but an american made the first home computer. And we also made planes that thankfully you guys made jets out of.
@legoman5188 Gotta agree with you, the US in the 50s was awesome, its just to bad we cant go back. In my opinion the "western world" should close its borders and stop import anything at all from Asia.
@Fakkmalmoe Yeah. On the news all I hear now is costs and money, but we don't need that because we can easily stop buying and start making. I wish I was alive during the days where American goods and services were around. Now most of Americans are unemployed because we don't have jobs since we don't make anything for ourselves.
@Fakkmalmoe What a load of bollocks, the computer was pretty much completely pioneered in the US, everything from the transistor, to the microprocessor, to the c programming language. Everything about your computer originates in America.
There were other colors available before the iconic statement "any color you like as long as it is black" It was just that in order to speed up production, the other color options were removed. Black paint dried a great deal quicker and the car could be shipped immediately to the dealers. Other colors took days to dry. Why produce a car in minutes to have it take days for the paint to dry? Also it was Edsel Ford driving off the assembly line not Henry.
My Grandfather had a Model T. He told me it had two speeds, high and low. It had a pedal on the floor that when you pressed it to the floor it would be one speed, then to shift into the second, you would simply lift your foot off the pedal.
He said he would mash the gas pedal to the floor and take off and hold it as long as he could then he would let his foot slip off the pedal jamming it hard into second so it would spin the tires grabbing second gear.
I gotta correct myself. There were about 15 million Ts made, not 20 million, as I stated before. Also, The electric starter was introduced in 1919, not 1925, again as I misstated earlier. I apologize for the errors. We live and learn.
Great video. Illuminating that Ford paid better and had better working conditions than was the standard of the day. Strange how Henry Ford is demonised by anti-capitalists today.
In terms of the car, watching a Model T go down those sandy embankments made me realise how reliable it was. Compare that to my mothers Toyota. If you tried to drive it the same way you'd drive a Model T, it would just break, clean and simple.
Very good but one complaint. Is it really necessary to have the words CarDataVideo that high up in the frame? Why couldn't it have been placed on the lower right? I find it somewhat distracting placed where it is.
Gee, if only Car Companies could build cars workers could afford now. If only, people realized, if you don't support your local, state, and national economy first, you may not have an economy for long.
Ben .. they could once but things have gotten so far outta hand now it seems impossible. Union greed and demands coupled with management bullheadedness and here we are. But you're right re. supporting natl and state and local economies. Are there still any of those left?

I was told that they had to carry buckets of water around after long drives because the wooden wheels would catch fire from heavy breaking. Does anyone know if this is true?
Fantastic video.Thank you for posting. My jaw hit the floor when I saw that spindly wheeled model T off-roading so well. Man that car could handle itself very well.
dude we are all getting ripped off! Many modern cars can't drive in conditions like that beast! Not only that but with out all the modern doohickeys its probably way more reliable! I am astonished at what that car can handle!
i am looking to download videos of the model t, and cant find any online. anyone got a site i can goto and get some of these videos for free? thanks. kid_coogan at yahoo.com
Those men were real men! They worked hard, bitched little and earned a good wage... what happened? Ask those unions that were wanted so badly, there you'll find an answer. Oh wait, none of the union pushers will ever admit to the greed they had.
lol dpiddley or whatever he calls himself, anyways he sounds weak. Anyone that NEEDS a blood sucking union these days deserves just that. There's alot of old timers hating the unions of yesterday that did little to nothing to help them and still took their hard earned dollar as a payable union due every payday.
What a GREAT video, thank you so much. I loved watching this and learned from it too. Also love the voice of person doing it, very clear and easy to listen to. Thank you soooo much.
@fparry Obviously you would know better than I. I did know about the spark advance and fuel levers, but not what the pedals were. Interesting stuff. Are you familiar with the "Doodlebugs" ?
One of the most interesting things about the T is the fact that there were three pedals on the floor. None of which was the gas. High, neutral, low on the left pedal. transmission brake on the right pedal, and Reverse on the center pedal. the gas, or accelerator was located on a lever on the right side of the steering wheel, On the left was a manual spark advance lever. I love teaching people to drive my model T Ford.
No one knows how to do it until I show them. Great Car!
This video is also easily available via the Internet. I didn't find the text very interesting.
Point of correction: My great grandfather worked this plant and spoke about building the "T" in detail. Those laboroers were not "filing the wooden spokes so they could be painted" -- but rather, they were filing to remove the marks made by the steel rim press.
@mandoist So did my grandfather. Do you have any photos of that period? My grandfather worked with Edward Gray, who with Albert Kahn, designed the Highland Park pland.
Can someone tell me what that gear setup or sprocket setup is on the right front wheels? Saw a few nice "T" examples at the Woodstock Fair last night but there wasn't anyone nearby that could explain what they were.
Not certain what you are talking about but there were a number of after market accessories for the T and it sounds as though you are talking about a speedometer which used a small gear connected to the inboard of one of the right front wheels. A cable with a pinion gear ran from the gauge on the dash to the gear on the wheel. These were not built by Ford and did not come equipped on the car. For that matter neither did the top or the spare tire. Both were accessories.
Now Ford is moving everything to Mexico where I read they make $4.39 cents a day if that article was accurate about the wage,, all because of NAFTA that both parties supported against hard working Americans giving our jobs top Mexico and China and where ever else Government see's fit to send them off too.. So make sure who you vote into office your very livelihood depends on it
@TexasMan77 In the early part of the narrative, the commentator mistakenly said that the Model A's were built from 1909 to 1928 - not the Model T's. Just a slight goof in his script reading.
It appears that the 15 millionth Model T was driven off of the line by Edsel Ford, Henry's son. Henry was the older man, who was closer to the camera, and slamed the passenger door (as stated in the video.) Great Video!
I remember my Mom telling me that she learned how to drive in a Model T. The kicker: She learned to drive at the age of 8, and used the old T-bucket to pull the plow in her grandpa's fields. By that time, the model T had already been out of production for several years
You could get other colours besides "black". It just took longer to get one custom made in "red" for example. The majority were produced in black because that paint colour dried quicker than any other paint formulation and therefore, the entire process was sped up. Rather than waiting, most folks just bought a black one.
Everyone credits Ford to making the assembly line, but it was actually Oldsmobile that had the first in 1903 when they built their "Curved Dash" Olds.
A friend of my parents restored T's and A's and a Pierce Arrow during my growing up years in the fifties and sixties. The biggest thrill was riding in the rumble seat!
Sort of interested but what I would like to see and hear about are the tail fins that Chrysler Corp. started in 1956......some tiny ones in 1954. That 54 Plymouth 2 door hardtop, for example, had a roof painted in white, body in coral, white slash on the front door. It also had wire wheels, white wall tires, fender skirts and everything was capped off with a beautiful continental kit. Today's automobile are truly boring. Keith
As Jerry Reed said, "Lord, Mr. Ford, what have you done?!" Great video. I love my 1989 Ford Bronco II. It's really an updated version of the Model T, and will go practically anywhere over practically any terrain. Keep up the great work, Ford Motor Co.!
now everything is made with plastic and products that poison the ground and last 6 months.

Those men were real men! They worked hard, bitched little and earned a good wage... what happened? Ask those unions that were wanted so badly, there you'll find an answer. Oh wait, none of the union pushers will ever admit to the greed they had.

lol dpiddley or whatever he calls himself, anyways he sounds weak. Anyone that NEEDS a blood sucking union these days deserves just that. There's alot of old timers hating the unions of yesterday that did little to nothing to help them and still took their hard earned dollar as a payable union due every payday.

@fparry Obviously you would know better than I. I did know about the spark advance and fuel levers, but not what the pedals were. Interesting stuff. Are you familiar with the "Doodlebugs" ?
Lordac 1 year ago
One of the most interesting things about the T is the fact that there were three pedals on the floor. None of which was the gas. High, neutral, low on the left pedal. transmission brake on the right pedal, and Reverse on the center pedal. the gas, or accelerator was located on a lever on the right side of the steering wheel, On the left was a manual spark advance lever. I love teaching people to drive my model T Ford.
No one knows how to do it until I show them. Great Car!

This video is also easily available via the Internet. I didn't find the text very interesting.
Point of correction: My great grandfather worked this plant and spoke about building the "T" in detail. Those laboroers were not "filing the wooden spokes so they could be painted" -- but rather, they were filing to remove the marks made by the steel rim press.

Lol dude that is just the same...
Your wright, they are filing to remove the marks made of the steel rim press.
But you need a nice and clean surface to pain the spoke's.
So to becaome a nice and clean surface they are filing the marks away.

Can someone tell me what that gear setup or sprocket setup is on the right front wheels? Saw a few nice "T" examples at the Woodstock Fair last night but there wasn't anyone nearby that could explain what they were.
Lordac 1 year ago
@Lordac
Not certain what you are talking about but there were a number of after market accessories for the T and it sounds as though you are talking about a speedometer which used a small gear connected to the inboard of one of the right front wheels. A cable with a pinion gear ran from the gauge on the dash to the gear on the wheel. These were not built by Ford and did not come equipped on the car. For that matter neither did the top or the spare tire. Both were accessories.

Now Ford is moving everything to Mexico where I read they make $4.39 cents a day if that article was accurate about the wage,, all because of NAFTA that both parties supported against hard working Americans giving our jobs top Mexico and China and where ever else Government see's fit to send them off too.. So make sure who you vote into office your very livelihood depends on it

It was produced from 1908-1927, not from '09 to '28. Top speed was more like 35 MPH, not 45.
TexasMan77 1 year ago
@TexasMan77 In the early part of the narrative, the commentator mistakenly said that the Model A's were built from 1909 to 1928 - not the Model T's. Just a slight goof in his script reading.

It appears that the 15 millionth Model T was driven off of the line by Edsel Ford, Henry's son. Henry was the older man, who was closer to the camera, and slamed the passenger door (as stated in the video.) Great Video!

I remember my Mom telling me that she learned how to drive in a Model T. The kicker: She learned to drive at the age of 8, and used the old T-bucket to pull the plow in her grandpa's fields. By that time, the model T had already been out of production for several years

jarrus464 1 year ago
You could get other colours besides "black". It just took longer to get one custom made in "red" for example. The majority were produced in black because that paint colour dried quicker than any other paint formulation and therefore, the entire process was sped up. Rather than waiting, most folks just bought a black one.

Everyone credits Ford to making the assembly line, but it was actually Oldsmobile that had the first in 1903 when they built their "Curved Dash" Olds.

Sort of interested but what I would like to see and hear about are the tail fins that Chrysler Corp. started in 1956......some tiny ones in 1954. That 54 Plymouth 2 door hardtop, for example, had a roof painted in white, body in coral, white slash on the front door. It also had wire wheels, white wall tires, fender skirts and everything was capped off with a beautiful continental kit. Today's automobile are truly boring. Keith
