do you know how there's memes/stereotypes about slow elderly drivers? Back in the day, I wonder if they made fun of elderly drivers who kept their Model T and had to drive slowly even though the cars on the streets kept getting faster and faster. They'd be like "darn stuck behind a model T" on their way to buy sandwiches at Woolworth's.
My grandpa's grandpa owned one of those, and he had to drive down hills backwards because the gas tank was gravity-feeding. Edit: he had to drive UP the hill backwards, not down
He must be a real badass for driving it down backwards, I can't even let myself go too fast when cycling down a hill, and had to apply brakes a lot of times :D
Delightful Douschebaggery Dude I have 110+ year old chevy with rusty engine, and still starts up like a dream. SOUNDS like Ford's engines aren't "Weather Protected"
not entirely impossible, though if true the car certainly wasn't built for the road, the company started in 1911 but the man for which it was named was building racecars as early as 1902
Fun Facts: The Ford Model T had a top speed of about 40-45 mph and got between 13-21 mpg. It was powered by an inline-4 engine that produced 20 hp and was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene, or ethanol. Despite being built between 1908 and 1927, the Model T remains in the top 10 best-selling cars of all time as of 2016.
Only took the commies 60 more years to produce a car of this performance. Meanwhile capitalist Detroit was dropping 8.2 liter engines in an El Dorado with power windows, seats, leather and AC
One funny thing, if I'm remembering the setup correctly, there's three pedals: one for forward, one for brakes, one for reverse (which is why the back wheel spun while he was giving it gas on start). It's also one wheel drive!
I had a 1952 Ford pickup with a lovely little straight 6 engine. It hadn’t been started in over 25 years before I bought it, and it didn’t take too much before it was literally purring. I decided to have the generator rebuilt and keep the truck 6 volts. To this day, I love the sound of an old engine turning over with a 6 volt starter.
>shits on a ford because person thinks ford at this era was just as bad as it is today >ford up to 1990s at the very LEAST was durable and long lasting if preserved right depending how vintage the car model is and what model it is (excluding the pinto, that was a mistake and they tend to not repeat even in the 80s and 90s) >yours wont start for sure because of modernizing the ford built cars in other countries other than detroit or atleast a high percent of them the rest is made in detroit but parts made to be assembled in the US more or less come from china and china quality shite is well known for being not so long lasting at all >a 1953 or older model T rusted yet preserved was not working but then miraculously starts working after 60+ years after a few attempts to start the motor while a modernized cheaply built not-so-longer lasting quality built 2010 ford will not start up due to the poor materials and assembly over time that was getting worse and worse unlike in 1921 and 1953 or older all the way up to the 1990s tl;dr fuck is right your wont start because yours was probably made in mexico and parts are made in china even if its an american car unlike vintage american cars that were actually quality built with a few exceptions.
a DIY Car Guy still turns on nearly 100 years later can't say the new Ford's or modern cars will turn on nearly 100 years from now when all the electronics go bad.
The purist car nut in me would love to have a Model T. It's about as simple and true as a car can possibly be. And the body and parts may have developed surface rust, but they were hearty and made to last - quite obviously.
Loathe Cliff There has never been any evidence to suggest that Tesla's car ever existed. But regardless of power source, a Model T is extremely purist, or simple if that's a better word.
SillyPuddy2012 It's been a few years. I used to travel thru some of these United States. In a Big-Rig. Not too often, but once in awhile, I do see groups of the "oldies" on the road. Once I was on I-95 southbound near Richmond, Va. I approached a convoy of, "oldies", they were southbound also. This one in the group caught, my eye. A model "T" I think.Only difference was, the whole thing was mounted backwards. Head-Lites were in the rear & RED. Now, that was, different.
Considering it hasn't been started for ~65 years, it starts fairly easy. I don't think if you took a 2014 Ford, parked it in a garage, took it out in ~2080 it would start as easy as this.
Hello Bill, how are you doing. I hope you are safe and in good health. Looking for a new friend and i saw your pic here. I hope you don't mind thank you.
From Wikipedia: "Because Ford relied on gravity to feed fuel to the carburetor rather than a fuel pump, a Model T could not climb a steep hill when the fuel level was low. The immediate solution was to climb steep hills in reverse. In 1926, the fuel tank was moved forward and upward, under the cowl, on most models, which improved the gravity feed." It stands to reason the engine was hard to start and repeatedly quit if the temporary fuel supply was on the floor. Raising the tank about a foot would have made the difference.
I remember my Mom's folks who were in the hills of Western North Carolina talking about having to back these old babies up the hill so the gravity fed gas would stay in the carb. Even remember a story of my Great Uncle trying to make the hill forwards and running out of gas and backing down the hill and ending up upside down in the creek. LOL!
"The gas tank I had sitting in the floor was not working well...". Cooling system looks like it don't work too well either! What a great vid. Awesome, thanks guys.
Makes you wonder if any of these modern day "plastic cars" would do the same. It's awesome that it started though. Makes you wonder who first bought it fresh from the assembly line back in the roaring '20's.
1bgood97 my 98 f250 started easily after sitting 10+ years outside. Unattended, and outside for nature to take over. Didn’t do more than what these guys did. Simple maintenance and boom. Air, fuel, spark, power.
My Dad had 29 model A when I was 14 in 1964. I was better at starting it than he was most times. H e was so proud of me that when my aunt and uncle came for a visit he had me start it for my uncle......problem was I forgot to put it in neutral. It went flying backwards and hit my Dads 1961 Buick Lasabre. My Dad said "I told you she could start the first time around! But I didn't except that to happen!" Needless to say I was so embarrassed and ran into the house crying my eyes out. Pretty funny, now!
Your dad must be (or have been) a great guy, reacting like that. :) If I ever have kids and they damage my car, I hope I will remember this post and keep my cool. After all, throwing a tantrum has never helped anyone.
I'll say this: That's one of the few reasons why I always respect and love the older vehicles; the older they are, the simpler they are (relatively speaking). My mustang (SN95) she's old but dang does she get good gas mileage, and she's still ticking with the v6 she's got. The bronco (2nd gen or the late 70's model) that thing is built to the teeth. List of things awesome about the old broncos (from 78 in my case,) Ford 351 Big Block v8 Ford 9" rear axle (4.10:1) Dana 44 front axle (4.10:1 also) NP205 Gear driven transfer case NP435 Four speed (Lo + 3 speed technically) manual transmission Detroit lockers with Warn hub lockers Motorcraft 2150 dual barrel carb. (granted, not much but the engine produced a lot of torque from the factory) 1,000ft-lbs clutch. (a LOT of leg work let me tell ya) I lucked out with the bronco and it only has 11k miles put on it. Many people thought it just rolled over (resets) but I verified it myself by inspecting the drivetrain including the history of the vehicle from the former owner. Mechanically speaking, it's just about ready to go, needs a new fuel tank, needs new fuel lines, need to situate the warped springs (previous owner decided to leave it on jack stands...), give it a wash and get it registered and It'll be ready to go. Newer cars, even Ford cars/trucks... not much respect really... imo, I'd rather waste 700 bucks for gas on my old bronco than to waste a lot of cash on a new 2021-2022 bronco. And the only reason is that stuff gets more complex, cars and computers imo don't mix too well nowadays, even before the chip shortage. But if you like newer ford cars or newer cars in general, then hey, that's cool with me. :) But y'all gotta admit.. this is the definition of "Ol' Faithful". a car that's 100 years old to date (roughly) and it starts up! :0 That.. is just awesome and it's a testament to the term: Reliability.
Imagine having such a short attention span and being so impatient that you have to look through the comments to find the part you wanna see in a video that’s only 2 minutes and 31 seconds long.
+jaspertaawesome Yeah that's when they were in good running order.. I was talking about this particular car on the day they cranked it to make this vid. If they would have been forced to use the hand crank they would still be out in the driveway since they made this vid in 2013 trying to crank that damn thing! haha And one of them would have had a HUGE right arm by now like a fiddler crab!
Amazing testimony to engineering that this engine should start after being idle for sixty years. To recognize this they are running it without the benefit of a cooling system.
Going by the flash rust over the entire exterior, ask yourself if the engine also wouldn't have been locked up. Sitting idle is one thing, but that's been gone through. I also see far too many irreplaceable engines being run without radiators on here.
You are making far too much of this. T technology was functional, that is the only threshold that matters right there. If a T Motor was stored in a carefully controlled inert environment then it could be started up after a billion or a trillion years. If it was stored on the bottom of the ocean then its not going to run after after just a matter of days,
It barely ran, under no load, for about 10 seconds. I bet those results could be duplicated, or even surpassed, by taking the carburetor completely off, pouring raw gas into the intake manifold, and having some one regulate the air intake flow by holding their hand over the inlet hole of the intake manifold. Would you be amazed by that demonstration of * technology * too ?
firstbaldwin Actually you couldn't poor gas into the intake manifold, it's an updraft design. I know, I own a 1947 Ford 2N farm tractor, they have the same engine as the Model T and the Model A.
for as long as they ran it there is no point of putting the radiator on it and all of the associated hoses and components, if they were going to run more than about 30 seconds or so then it would be smart to have a complete cooling system

1bgood97 my 98 f250 started easily after sitting 10+ years outside. Unattended, and outside for nature to take over. Didn’t do more than what these guys did. Simple maintenance and boom. Air, fuel, spark, power.
My Dad had 29 model A when I was 14 in 1964. I was better at starting it than he was most times. H e was so proud of me that when my aunt and uncle came for a visit he had me start it for my uncle......problem was I forgot to put it in neutral. It went flying backwards and hit my Dads 1961 Buick Lasabre. My Dad said "I told you she could start the first time around! But I didn't except that to happen!" Needless to say I was so embarrassed and ran into the house crying my eyes out. Pretty funny, now!
Your dad must be (or have been) a great guy, reacting like that. :) If I ever have kids and they damage my car, I hope I will remember this post and keep my cool. After all, throwing a tantrum has never helped anyone.
My 1948 jeep Willy starts up very well and it sounds very smooth
I love how the rear wheel turns as he starts it.
Thanks for letting us watch that, so cool!
I heard Grandpa Walton was on the telegraph looking to buy it... :-)
That is awesome, after 60 years! It's older than most people I know.
My dad has a 1918 model t and we love having ours as well
What s beauty. Love it. I am a Kent Ford engine fan. Still have one 1978 . Vetri South Africa 🙏🇿🇦🙏
Imagine how hard that would have been to start by hand.
It looks even harder if someone wanted to steal the car, with a person behind the wheel moving levers etc.
@@clearcreek69Hand crank is the true anti-theft device
@@KitKitChanIsaac Very true
WHAT A PIECE OF BEAST!!! BEAUTIFUL CAR!
I'll say this: That's one of the few reasons why I always respect and love the older vehicles; the older they are, the simpler they are (relatively speaking).
My mustang (SN95) she's old but dang does she get good gas mileage, and she's still ticking with the v6 she's got.
The bronco (2nd gen or the late 70's model) that thing is built to the teeth.
List of things awesome about the old broncos (from 78 in my case,)
Ford 351 Big Block v8
Ford 9" rear axle (4.10:1)
Dana 44 front axle (4.10:1 also)
NP205 Gear driven transfer case
NP435 Four speed (Lo + 3 speed technically) manual transmission
Detroit lockers with Warn hub lockers
Motorcraft 2150 dual barrel carb. (granted, not much but the engine produced a lot of torque from the factory)
1,000ft-lbs clutch. (a LOT of leg work let me tell ya)
I lucked out with the bronco and it only has 11k miles put on it. Many people thought it just rolled over (resets) but I verified it myself by inspecting the drivetrain including the history of the vehicle from the former owner. Mechanically speaking, it's just about ready to go, needs a new fuel tank, needs new fuel lines, need to situate the warped springs (previous owner decided to leave it on jack stands...), give it a wash and get it registered and It'll be ready to go.
Newer cars, even Ford cars/trucks... not much respect really...
imo, I'd rather waste 700 bucks for gas on my old bronco than to waste a lot of cash on a new 2021-2022 bronco. And the only reason is that stuff gets more complex, cars and computers imo don't mix too well nowadays, even before the chip shortage.
But if you like newer ford cars or newer cars in general, then hey, that's cool with me. :)
But y'all gotta admit.. this is the definition of "Ol' Faithful". a car that's 100 years old to date (roughly) and it starts up! :0 That.. is just awesome and it's a testament to the term: Reliability.
2:11 You're welcome.
Imagine having such a short attention span and being so impatient that you have to look through the comments to find the part you wanna see in a video that’s only 2 minutes and 31 seconds long.
@@737am yeah imagine
Can you imagine going through that start-up using the hand crank?
they only took about a half turn and they fired right up
+jaspertaawesome Yeah that's when they were in good running order.. I was talking about this particular car on the day they cranked it to make this vid. If they would have been forced to use the hand crank they would still be out in the driveway since they made this vid in 2013 trying to crank that damn thing! haha And one of them would have had a HUGE right arm by now like a fiddler crab!
GeorgeBonez 😃
+jaspertaawesome If you had set the timing right, and it didn't backfire and dislocate your shoulder.
Starting fluid said no one ever
Amazing testimony to engineering that this engine should start after being idle for sixty years. To recognize this they are running it without the benefit of a cooling system.
Going by the flash rust over the entire exterior, ask yourself if the engine also wouldn't have been locked up. Sitting idle is one thing, but that's been gone through. I also see far too many irreplaceable engines being run without radiators on here.
You are making far too much of this. T technology was functional, that is the only threshold that matters right there. If a T Motor was stored in a carefully controlled inert environment then it could be started up after a billion or a trillion years. If it was stored on the bottom of the ocean then its not going to run after after just a matter of days,
It barely ran, under no load, for about 10 seconds. I bet those results could be duplicated, or even surpassed, by taking the carburetor completely off, pouring raw gas into the intake manifold, and having some one regulate the air intake flow by holding their hand over the inlet hole of the intake manifold. Would you be amazed by that demonstration of * technology * too ?
firstbaldwin Actually you couldn't poor gas into the intake manifold, it's an updraft design. I know, I own a 1947 Ford 2N farm tractor, they have the same engine as the Model T and the Model A.
for as long as they ran it there is no point of putting the radiator on it and all of the associated hoses and components, if they were going to run more than about 30 seconds or so then it would be smart to have a complete cooling system
It’s crazy knowing people used to drive cars like this back in the day
The return of the king
sounds like me on burrito night
That must be one of them newfangled air-cooled models. :D
no sense wasting half a day hookin up radiator and hoses if it blows up on start up.
Damn are yall still here? you been here in the early days of YT!
Once again TH-cam recommendations has brought us all together
Yup
I love how it immediately just turns off
