Great video, thanks. Love the "T" and two big thumbs up to those who preserve and celebrate them.

@budgienation Sorry @ford9572, the radio comment was supposed to go to stuvu6896. As the saying goes, 'to err is human, to forgive, divine..'

@ford9572 They generally didn't have radios for cars until the "Motorola" brand was introduced in the mid to late 20's. Incidentally, "Motorola" was another innovation of the Ford Motor Company.

Great video but please, for the love of everyones ears, if it's windy outside please put a sound baffle on the microphone. They're very easy to find, they're made of foam rubber and they fit over the microphone head. When it's windy, it cuts down on that awful wind noise that makes it all but impossible to hear what the old man is saying about operating a Model T Ford.

The transmission actually seems pretty simple just I imagine would be hard to start at first coming from driving a truck with a manual transmission and wanting to push the clutch to the floor.

@Simpson654 Lol, the inventor of the modern system of driving was Cadillac (not European). It was the 1916 Cadillac type 53 if you don't believe me. They were also the first to use an electric starter (with key), and make electric headlamps standard.
