Old man starting 1910 Ford model T

[tp22clt]

hes real.



[coolakiIlen007]

fattar inte hur han ens kan köra den! man ska ju typ trycka ner "handbromsen" för växel och trycka ner "kopplingen" och gasa med pinnen man oftast har blinkersen på moderna bilar. :P men fränt ändå! ;)

[UDubFootballFan]

The man's jacket is legendary! 

[ACluelessKid]

You wish you had one of these. How fantastic.

[postmann1000]

i love brass!

[MrGotsquashed]

Sounds like that thing is @ 2k rpm!

[meyiyiyi55]

the ultimate in realness right there.doesnt get any better,unless you were kick starting a thor.

[YTF00CKR]

00:41 onwards... PRICELESS EARGASM.

[trbossdoggy]

wow,so they were making arm muscles when they were starting the cars :D

[KeineMofaCrew]

the man has 100x more car experience than we all

[TheFossMan1]

Im haveing a babe! Hunnie get the Crank!!!! Ok deer I'll get started cranking it good thing we didnt get a stanlly stemmer

[Jimmygomezalexander]

haters gonna hate

[CanadiaMiliatry15]

Wow, life back then sounded like crap.

[KenMacMillan]

They actually made hot rod parts for this back in the day. There was a SOHC conversion & a 2 speed rearend.

[hamsterattack1357]

i have a 1937 antique tractor and it has a starter like this and nearly takes my arm off trying to start the damn thing lol

[jetflyer96]

Man..... I wish I could have lived back in that time period with so much innovation and cleverness I could never have designed a running engine let alone a full functioning car and they had to have presision without computers.... Pioneers of the modern life

[Blaze0820]

@jetflyer96 It's all around use! You just have to look hard for it.

[harley55100]

@jetflyer96 Mind you, back then life was harder and more boring.

I wouldn't wanna live in a time period when there's no television, no radio, no electricity, no computers, no Internet, no running hot water, no bathrooms, and the rest of the modern amenities we now enjoy.

[jasonmoore1900]

i like the coat hes wearing

[boud92si]

Yikes, anybody see his thumbs on the last revolution, he shouldn't grab the lever like that with his thumbs. If it kicked back it would take them off.

[Hendo56]

That flivver, dear friends, changed the world. It put the automobile within the reach of the masses.

[modern44]

i could get that car at the junkyard

[modern44]

@modern44 a penny is more valuble

[noscwoh1]

Even assuming his first few revolutions were priming the engine with the ignition switch off, his final turnover was scary to watch. That two-handed technique could get messy if the engine kicked back.

[MokongHn]

nice car dude

[JOCKATEO]

pimp my ride

[HHONOW]

Yes, but a sweet noise : )

I LOVE IT !

[joefacc]

Yeah!!! Old dude power!!

[sof1map]

u recon it wud skid both wheels hehe

[Aarius1972]

there loud if you restore them to spec, its a mechanical and gear drive cam. and the valve train clearence is on the high side. my 1917 sounds like that also. im doing up my 1927 with the new updated parts and fixes, it will be quieter and have some more power. but i would rather have one of the earlier ones like this one.

[Projective]

if someone said to henry ford that in 100 years there will be a car that can do 407km/h, he would laugh his ass of. hehe

[pmic2011]

agreed

and if said that there will be flying cars in the next 100 years then you will be laughing

[McLarenMercedes]

@Projective

I don't think so. You see Henry Ford himself drove a car to 147km/h in 1904 on an icy lake. It was the Ford 999, and that was the new land speed record. Bear in mind Ford didn't release his Model T until 1908.

Malcolm Campbell drove his land speed record car to 485km/h in Sept 3'rd 1935. Henry Ford lived until 1947 at which time the land speed record for cars was 634km/h (John Cobb, Railton Special)

[Projective]

@McLarenMercedes oh really ? I didn't know that =) thx

[yesiamanalien]

I'd love to get my hands on a Model T but I must say that car's very loud or the camera was near another loud car. Love the rain coat, looks about like an oilcloth coat but not sure.

[fordman1112]

that dude is a pimp!!!

[buddybestor]

@fordman1112 I know right....he just needs to put some spinners and air ride suspension on that pimp wagon!

[estesoyojajaja]

@fordman1112 what is that?

[TheRyanCarMan]

Exactly, cipmars! Our automatic transmissions originated from the Ford T transmission!

[estesoyojajaja]

Such a noise!!!

[sabbiq]

Wow a 99 year car 1910 to 2009

[nissanskyline923]

lol nice name

[TomMinderson]

Only the earliest models had to be hand-cranked, didn't they? Ford added electric starters.

[sjhamilton2]

I've got a 26 and that's the last of them and it still has the crank on it because the starters were still pretty unreliable and it's still that way. We've burnt (it's hard to regulate how much electric the battery supplies with it) 2 starters on it since we restored it about 10 years ago. Doesn't sound like much but given we only take it out a few times a year, well you can do the math.

[rcs12185]

In 1919.

[koronaa]

pure classic

[SportsCarAdvisors]

nice model t

[pineboxdave]

simply beatiful

[smartalec1998]

so you had to do all that just to start your dam car??!?!?!!?

[cipmars]

Yeah, imagine what it would be like if it stalled at the greenlight! :) It's 1910's technology, my friend. It's a masterpiece! Our cars are based on this idea. And they're just an evolution, not a revolution.

[McLarenMercedes]

@cipmars

The Ford Model T was in no way a "masterpiece" even by the 1910 standards. Other manafacturers had more advanced cars that both were more comfortable and had better performance.

What is true however is the Ford made a very simple and rugged car which could be easily assembled and which was cheap to buy too. Before the Model T only rich people could afford cars.

The Rolls Royce Silver Ghost was way better than a Ford Model T. Mercer Raceabout,Stutz Bearcat,Peugeot racers,Mercedes...

[cipmars]

@McLarenMercedes The price made it a masterpiece. It was the FIRST affordable car and yet it worked. Would you like a 10.000 bucks private jet that you could fly yourself? I sure would.

[PudgeMountin5000]

I kinda like the tourer version of the model Ts better than this version no offense of course just saying.

[crazyhomer777]

i wonder if that was his first car lol!

[TCWFtheshow]

i dont know but this car is at the most 955.00$

[JewTimes2]

this car is fucking rare are you stupid or something a working model is worth way more than that

[cipmars]

Yea, I guess his parents gave it to him for his supersweet sixteen!

[Regelmaatje]

Nice! That prrr sound. I believe it's a model N, with the 3rd backseet. The T is derived from the N, they look very similar.

[becky334]

tänk t forden lever än. Fin är den också

[MargusKiistheCritic]

seems quite easy.

no throttle pedal, no break pedal, no clutch pedal, only three gear pedals.

[Alisterwolf66]

Not quite.

Throttle and spark advance levers are on the steering wheel. The three pedals, from left to right, are: 1st gear (when the floor lever is forward), reverse, brake (not break). The lever controls 2nd gear (forward, with the pedal up), neutral (straight up), and emergency brake (all the way back).

Not quite as easy as you'd think. Especially if you're used to more modern stuff.

[GR8TM4N]

Its very noisy :) Great car.

[lordoftheriffs79]

72 km/h topspeed

[ktxed]

depending on the windspeed =)) and ofc not taking in calculation the air friction

[Docksideofmoon]

Yea!!!!

[my1979transam]

20 horse power at atop speed of probley 15mph lol

[bass1134]

i beat it can smoke those tires to the rim lol!

[flpmstrs43n]

no more like 45-50 Mph

[StriderTacticaL]

can it do a peelout?

[jazmundln]

Time to do the grass!

[seph3911]

lol

[TK572]

He could of got his thumb and a couple of ribbs ripped to pieces with the way he was hugging the crank

[mageac]

id imagine he knew what he was doing

[bazookatim]

Swedish? looks like our kind of numer plates,

[robc693]

i wonder if that old guy was the original owner of that car. lol

[ChomuSclavus]

Dang, where's the muffler??

[d65fitzer]

did you see him smile?..... pretty proud of himself....

we're all getting a bit older.

[newflyer500]

Great video love to see more videos of that car.

[Setka1982]

what an old timer, took long enough for him to get it running and move on
