They Drive This 1914 Ford Model T Speedster Race Car 1500 Miles Every Year Rain or Shine!

I met this wonderful couple at the 2023 Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan and they were so much fun to visit with. They talked about their 1914 Brass Era Ford Model T Speedster race car hot rod, their experiences, and then drove off into the sunset....well sort of but they did end up driving away after the interview. It is even signed by Henry Ford III and you will see his signature on the car in the video!

When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A or other related videos from that time period that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.
As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.

I fully agree, the most awesome part on this Speedster is the nose-thumbing motometer!!! LOL I don't remember ever seeing one like that!
