These cars really are special. Breaking down constantly was "a thing" when they were new. Nor were they built with paved roads in mind. Even cars from the 1910s and 1920s remind me of old farm tractors.
Quick answer to your question.. Yep. My 80 yr old does 200 off-road miles yearly. Matter of fact.... May I extend an invitation to you, and Jay to the Fort Hood Military Vehicle Rally on Columbus Day weekend at the previous known Fort Hood?
Absolutely, like previous commenters it really just boils down to treating the car as it was expected to be driven. My 96 year old model A is getting ready to make the 110 mi round trip to the Lancaster Ohio old car festival and I have no doubt it will make it as long as I treat her with respect and try to stay around 40 mi an hour.
No I haven't seen that but model A's are remarkably resilient and there isn't much you can't fix on them with a roll of baling wire and a screwdriver as my dad jokes... In the days before duct tape, there wasn't a more simple car and it reminds me of my days as a kid pulling Hay wagons on my dad's farm with a Ford 9N... It's just a little bit faster
Thanks for watching! Check out this video we did of a 1902 Packard to hear its mighty 1 cylinder! th-cam.com/video/OzRXDkkgZJI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=41vVOO82Mj6n4DNR
Yes! And we’re going to give them a faster car next year.😉 If you want to hear more about their experience this time around as well as some of the cool cars they’ve been driving, check out our podcast with them: Horseless Carriages, Hybrids, and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N with Matt Farah and Zack Klapman th-cam.com/video/5M4dkkCXhoI/w-d-xo.html
This video makes me incredibly happy. Thanks to the sponsors for providing support, the owners for bringing their cars, and all involved in recording this so we can all enjoy.
Fun video. But that ‘05 Fiat was never raced. That model was never raced. That car was purchased new by the anheuser busch family in the U.S. ordered new with its touring body by Quinby of NJ. It was later purchased by James Melton then sold to Dr. John Miller of Stratford,Connecticut and then sold to Mr. Louis Biondi of Woodbury, Connecticut. It is an awesome car but never raced.
Absolutely stunning! To see such magnificent examples of motoring history gathered, and out on the open road, is awe inspiring and the stuff of motoring dreams (mine anyway)! In my humble opinion these are the ultimate super cars! Go Donald and Audrain, keep moving forward and taking us with you, even at 25 MPH!
Superb collection of automobiles. I prefer to call these cars "Pioneers" instead of veterans, I am a vet, pioneer is more accurate. The De Dion and Mors alone are worth the trip to RI but I didn't know this was going on. My oldest is a 17 model T but I have ambitions - Cheers gentlemen and thanks for the rally and video - keeping it both alive and real.
i just got back from a 3500 mile trip in my 1935 ford humpback. no issues. all original rebuilt flathead 8 i carry a spare waterpump. it is still in the box. car ran fine keptup with freeway traffic i also have a/c/ which made the trip super comfy. these old cars ride good. no computers. as long as you can fix things yourself any long trip is easy i have 4 1935 fords only one is not original, and that is my pickup. it has a small block chevy in it. basically stock also has a.c and a hitch to tow a 6x12 uttility trailer. but i am tthinking of getting rid of my 2010 f 150 and my 2016 expedition . these old cars are better. but you really do need to do some mechanical upgrades. brakes etc
To answer the question posed by the title: It should. The car probably has never enjoyed as highly educated, and highly tooled, care, as it receives today - almost surely not even when it was new, unless perhaps it was a race car, or lived its life near the factory, or was party to some sort of authorized dealer/service network in its day.
I agree Evan is the master both in knowledge and skills in these motor cars . I would love to have been with you to soak in the atmosphere and smell of these pioneering titans . I drove a model "T " back in the 1990 's 10 miles in teatime traffic after a minutes coaching ! It was real fun and as long as l gave plenty of foward space for braking l had no problem keeping up with modern traffic. Must add l do miss Wayne on telly . Thankyou Donald

Duncan Pittaway drives his 1911 Fiat S76 150 miles from his home in Bristol (UK) to the Goodwood race circuit in Sussex, races it and drives it home again. This clip is from 2017. th-cam.com/video/eToHTf-QUBA/w-d-xo.html
We love The Beast! In fact, we sponsor the Goodwood Member's Meeting and saw it racing just a few weeks ago. Stay tuned for that video, coming later this month!
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork There's a video of Duncan speaking about the beast at Brooklands. Well worth an hour to watch. th-cam.com/video/CmRPLC4NK2Y/w-d-xo.html Goodwood streams the entire MM weekend live as it does for the Revival and Festival of Speed. I watch them all despite the time difference from there to here in rural Thailand. Great to see them still being used - and in some cases raced hard.
Although both companies are (were in the case of the automobile) based in Ohio, the 1902 Yale was built by the Kirk Manufacturing Company of Toledo, Ohio. The Hyster-Yale Materials Handling company that we all know and love was bought by Yale Lock Manufacturing Company of Newport, New York in the 1920s and is currently headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork I should be make for 2024 2025 brass car era model cars in 1:20 scale in brass and wood like the real cars, models like 1902 Northern Runabout, Oldsmobile Curved dash, 1910 International Harvester model F, 1902 Rambler model C, 1911 Maxwell AB etc.
Wow so cool! How about showing some fancy horse carriages from Paris in the 1700s? That is when real coach works really began. Watch the Cinderella movie with Richard Chaberlin. (its a musical).
When Donald said "Everything that we know in cars today was invented before World War I" I said "HA! Not variable valve timing". Then I looked it up and Cadillac had it in 1903! And it was adjustable by the driver.
Will it complete the trip - Yes - Without breakdown / repair / unanticipated stops or delays / well what would be the adventure in that? 100 years ago motoring was an adventure and the same vehicle is guaranteed to be an adventure today🦊
Audrain? Who? I've been involved with classic cars for 40 years and I've never heard of you. You sound like a bunch of Jonny-come-latelys to me! Oh, 2014, that explains a lot.
I love classic cars for the reason that the lines/design fascinates me, I guess you can call it retro futurism, but Donald do you not think it would be better if we saw brand new cars (if they were actually produced) being made with that calibre of chrome/pre chrome era designs.
So happy to be part of the team that keeps these cars running!!! Awesome event!!!
I smiled throughout this entire video. What a great group of enthusiasts.
Indeed! Always nice to see this particular group of folks.
These cars really are special. Breaking down constantly was "a thing" when they were new. Nor were they built with paved roads in mind. Even cars from the 1910s and 1920s remind me of old farm tractors.
Evan is really the Encyclopedia of Cars when they were in their infancy. Every time he comes on I always learn so much, it’s awesome. Thank You 🙏
Evan is the best! Thanks so much for watching

Have you seen 'Merlin's Garage' on TH-cam? He rescued a Model A and drove it cross country. He has several and is an invaluable resource.
No I haven't seen that but model A's are remarkably resilient and there isn't much you can't fix on them with a roll of baling wire and a screwdriver as my dad jokes...

My favourite is the mono headlight era like the Cyclecar and the Spyker.
Looks like a very cool and fun event

Does the 1902 Yale share a corporate heritage with my favorite forklift a 1986 Yale 5k solid tire?
Although both companies are (were in the case of the automobile) based in Ohio, the 1902 Yale was built by the Kirk Manufacturing Company of Toledo, Ohio. The Hyster-Yale Materials Handling company that we all know and love was bought by Yale Lock Manufacturing Company of Newport, New York in the 1920s and is currently headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio.
Look at these beauties with brass. Amazing.
Thanks for watching!
WOW these are amazing early automobiles, love the mechanical everything compared to today's drive by wire.
Glad you like them!
Sure it can 👍 Just requires a little more finesse 😂..
Happy Motoring ✌️🤠
Exactly! And it’s well worth it!
Looks a great event!
We're biased, but it is! We often claim that it's our favorite day on the event calendar.
Its done every year from London to Brighton in November
Why does the Fiat not have rear fenders/mud guards? Great video!
Oh yeah!
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃

It trust that 50 miles before I would a Tesla
Smoken!
That's probably out of warranty by now,🚗 you should trade it in on a new one ✌
We'll take our curved-dash Oldsmobile to our local Chevy dealership ASAP! Maybe they can sell it certified pre-owned!
And oddly enough, the UK has lowered their speed limits back to 20MPH in ULEZ cities.
That was fun but a deep dive on the Mors would have been better
Certainly, but there was a lot to cover in this video! Perhaps next time we'll focus on it. Thanks for the support!

Hello.
Hello!
Only 50 miles ? Might be a dawdle,but it'll certainly be a doddle..........
Mine would go 200 a day easy
