Great

An interesting video. Some SUPER cars. The cars were fantastic. Thanks for sharing that.

the engine noises are Model A noises! A Model T didnt have a standard geared to crunch! just some silly pedal arrangement that acted on bands and drums like a modern automatic transmission for those who dont know.

[Dal88]

That's right. A three pedal arrangment. Center pedal was reverse. Left pedal was depressed for low and released for hi.

I had a 1926 sedan and a 1924 touring car.

the left pedel also puts her in neutral when its just about 3/4 of the way down.

what a boring and bland looking car, no wonder Chevy and General Motors started outselling them in the late 1920s. They were low, stylish, longer hood, and had more vibrant color options and power. they also had electronic ignition so you didn't need to start it up, as with the earlier models in the T's, i believe.

wasn't this

considered the car for "everyman"?

I guess

Henry Ford was a liberal leaning socialist.

[Dal88]

LOL............Henry's idea was to build a cheap car that every man could afford. I believe it was the late teen's that starter's were added. Those in the video are early 20's.

[Bullettube]

So, wanting to build a car that everyman could afford is "Liberal" and "Socialists"? Too bad you know more about cars then you do about the history of this country and it's ideals.

[vorhese]

You're nuts, everyone know Henry was a right wing Hitler lover. But he made cool cars.

[sonichedgie]

lool, i think model T is cooler than ugly modern cars.

[Tommygunfreak]

Totally right! sonichedgie, I love your opinion! You think in the same way as I do!

[sonichedgie]

Yes, modern cars really makes me feel unpleasant . they look like plastic toy . Model-T is like some kind of an art made of metal.

[NathansBackwoods]

@dave98503, i dont think he was a liberal, if he was he would just expect people to give him money, he came up with a way to make money, he worked for it, he did not just steal it like a liberal hippy bum.

[gregwddriver]

[ChomuSclavus]

How old is this video?

[Dal88]

Thanks for the comment.

I took that video in the late 50's with an 8mm movie camera. About 20 year's ago I transfered all my movies to VHS tapes. Over the years the tapes have lost some quality. If I had the time, I would redo all the movie to the computer, but it take's alot of time.
