  • Is that a straight four or six?

  • It's a straight 6...I think a smaller number were made with the 4-cylinder.

  • WoW! Does she run on modern Gas?

  • Yes, just regular unleaded gasoline. I think this engine was probably developed before leaded gas became popular so it should be OK with unleaded.

  • Beautiful video. How is it possible that this still functionates so well. The engine has an unique sound, I never heard it. In the Netherlands these cars are in the museum standing still for (almost) ever.

  • I think this car was hardly ever driven and kept in storage for most of its life. Also in this area there is very little rain or snow and no salt on the roads so it's probably the best for preserving old cars.

  • That was amazing.  Just how the car sounds, looks, and driving around in it. It was an experience just watching it :)

  • Wow. What a nice video and GREAT CAR!

  • It's like something the Addams family would drive!

  • What a unique sound it has , superb.

  • you can just add a few ounces of 5-30 synthetic for lead replacement. Provides the lubrication, obviosly not the octane, but stil works great.

  • better check: i had a model t 1926 and it was designed for leaded gas. I used unleaded and burned the valves. they make a lead substitute......even putting Marvel Mystery Oil which yuo can get in any auto parts store worked good. love this car!!

  • soo cool

  • you mean floating, like w/ trucks? and do these old cars have clutch brakes? otherwise how do you get it in 1st if you let it idle in neutral?

  • There is no Coil on this car, unless it was added at a later date to increase ignition. The generator and magneto provide the ignition. A beautiful car, have you ever tried to drive it without double clutching? It takes a real finesse to do so.

  • I can never get used to double clutching these old cars

  • I would guess that the engine does not have an ignition coil. It appears to be a magneto.
