Ford didn't make it comfortable to get in from the driver side, because you are meant to get in from the passenger side and slide across. It's also the reason there's a lock on the passenger 's side door but not on the driver's side. Fantastic video, btw. Very enjoyable.

I like that he is a younger guy. Wish I could show him how to push the high gear lever forward and “half pedal” the clutch as soon as he starts the engine. That way all he needs to do is just push the clutch pedal in all the way for low gear .. or release it for high. Then you half pedal again when you break since this releases the clutch. I drive my 1923 runabout nearly every day and live in a city. Despite what he says it’s wonderful car that was very very popular. It was the highest production car in the world until the VW bug. Very easy to drive and no crunching of gears like standard shift transmissions.

I own-and constantly work on-a 1927 Model T coupe. Only had it 2 years so I’m still learning. I throughly enjoyed your insights and hilarious comments! I posted this on our Model T club and my Facebook page. Please add some more driving with your narration in your T! I just drove mine 20 miles on country paved roads in hilly North Georgia and was tired out! Flat would be nice. You are an inspiration but please keep driving it.

I have the same exact car. In the 90's I would regularly drive it around town to do service calls. I upgraded to wire wheels and easily could do 10 mph more very smoothly. You are very lucky to have the bumpers. I looked for a set for years and gave up. Great video! Well produced and edited

That was the most enjoyable video on the ‘T’ that I’ve seen in quite awhile! I’d like to be able to drive one for my 50th birthday.

A good running T can be a delightful car. I drove mine across Los Angeles in rush hour traffic, basically to see if I could. It was a fun day out.

When 10 mph sounds like your taking off into space. Ha! I love this so much. Great stuff, guys.

@MURICA oh yeah, i did make it up to a almost 50 mph or 80 km, in my 1914, speed has an different feeling in a T wow, and to scare, play pranks on your none suspecting friends ? let them step in and let them think they will get a slow uncomfy ride in a funny old car.....you might know that that T is steering like a bicycle and sticks to whatever, surface like a tank, so many tricks you can play and make your passengers scream in horror, try it out, reverse it and steer a bit, T is an acrobat, can even climb rocks, ok, will not go that far, respect its 106 y/o, but still room for pranks....

@@nicokamper4434 in the 1970s I'd take my friends up my Oldsmobile up up the mountain. Went 30 miles per hour truth be told, all I needed to let them scream in horror because they think it won't work like we didn't have a brain when making an automobile back then. It was a 1906 Sedan.

How could you only got 351 views, i like the way you talk and the way you show us the model T, that's the perfect road for this car, good job mate.

Very good video on the T! They were wonderful cars. I had a 1916 and it was a pleasure to drive.

I feel sorry for the people who bought a 27 just before the model A came out. I like model Ts because they are so primitive in ways, they are a handful to figure out with the now strange electrical and transmission. You used the spark nicely!

depended where you lived, the T is great for the goat trails from the 10 and early 20 s, those 2 pedals/gears to rock out of a hole, wow what a great idea, the old T s where sure great for those conditions, and yes, think of it, you can use it as a tractor or powerplant for a saw and more, no wonder that T became so popular, first real off road vehicle build ever....and affordable ...i drive a 1914 love it

Many people went out and bought a second Model T and kept it for future use because the didn’t want to learn a new driving drill when the A came out.

I love this 1927 Ford Model T Tudor sedan!! and I want buy a 1927 Model T for Fordor sedan!!!!! Model T's top speed is 45 mph. displacement is 2.8 litter 4 cylinder gasoline engine.

This video is beautifully filmed, recorded, and edited! Compelling commentary, and funny too! Keep making great videos! SUBSCRIBED

Oh just a follow up My T was originally a Minnesota car owned and garaged by one family its whole life so no rust!

Great video! I love Model T's. I had a chance to drive one once, and I am currently restoring a 1927 pickup (it was in really rough shape). I have some videos of the restoration on my channel. Happy tinkering.

a real sport to drive a T, first times its hard, specially if the car has been stalled for a long time, a T is made to be used, then, every one of those cars has been at least once against a tree or so, some repairs where often not to well done, no wonder, living out in the woods, on a dirt road, it does not matter if the wheels are lined out or not, for us, driving it for fun it sure matters, a car where you can churn butter while driving is soon not much fun to drive, we think : well, that is typical for an 100 y/o car, but its not, i bought a 1914 touring, did check the motor and bearings, all in great shape, i can see that the people back then put their scares money in those things first, going to the grocery store etc. who cares if the thing rattles and shakes a bit, what counts that i make it home again, we are now in it for fun, and a T can drive great, i was lucky to find an expert, now the car drives without the least vibration, sounds like a purring kitten, steers like a bicycle, i drove a 1924 touring long ago, now i drive a 1914 i think the 14 is the better one, it has more power ? it feels like sitting at home on the couch, playing a video game, once all is set i have nothing to do but pet the dogs and talk up a storm with my passengers, the dutch roads are fantastic, notice it since the T has no steering stabilizers, not a car to just drive out of a car lot and go into heavy traffic, o boy, did drive to an intersection and forgot the funny clutch, step on that one and jump, yes, almost flattened 2 bicyclists and stalled it out in the middle of that intersection...now nervous...o boy, must go out and crank it,...o dear lord make it start....people staring from their cars....in unbelieve...why is that guy stepping out while his car is in our way and in the middle off.....??? they saw me bending over in front and....some roaring laughter...then...me walking to the left door, what is not there,...what a clown...finally...the museum peace leaves the intersection, ...most people where still smiling....yes, standard transmission...first clutch, then brake NOT the T ...after almost creating an extra door in my barn i NEVER ever forget it anymore ! starting by crank, a thing to learn too, better use left hand, still sore wrist, yes it can kick, had a hard time starting with left, but when it is winter a backfire is bound to happen....so 3 days ago....now i have no chose but use my left, but yes, can now drive this car through Amsterdam if i wish too, and will keep up with traffic, no, forget the freeway,

When in doubt stomp on any two pedals and pull the emergency brake!

Thanks 👍

The reason this car in particular has such a hard time in second gear is because of the body style and year. The model t had 20 horsepower, if barely. And the sedan body style was the heaviest body style, so naturally the T would have issues. But by 1926-1927, the wood frame was gone and Ford started making the car with all metal, which made it even heavier. The little 4-cylinder engine would of course have issues.

another thing is, the gas tank went from under the seat to the front, leaving a lot less room for the driver, i did try to fit in one but on 6ft3 and ca 260 lbs ? the steering wheel did rub my belly, my knees the dashboard, ended up buying a 1914, that one has lots of room, an open touring, for braking you can use the low gear as well, not engage it but just shortly a light foot pressure , the car will brake a lot better that way, this gives me the security to drive through heavy seaside tourist traffic, netherlands here, the T steers easy, is agile, top is 75 km/h and it does seem to go for that easy, but i prefer 60 km/h the lady is 106 y/o, i took it off road, she did amaze me, i did a lot off road driving, but the T is odd, they desingned it so the frame moves with the terrain ? will not drive it on the freeway but other then that, will drive it anywhere, the bush or the city, prefer to drive without shoes, pedals are rather close together, ok, the dutch wooden shoes, step in them when i step out, keeps the floor clean as well, love that old car, its a sport to learn how to drive , start and light the carbide lights, its much more comfortable then you think,

Awesome video...thanks!

Great video!

The transmission is an automatic which now nobody drives a stick. The ignition is just like the modern cars. Try that distance in a horse and wagon, took longer to set the team up and set them back in the barn and if it was raining another few hours drying and caring for the horses before the driver was able to get in.

can u go from 2nd to Low gear, with out moving the lever?

I start mine with the crank all the time as long as you retard the spark you won’t break your arm. You should not wrap your thumb around the handle though just in case.

Turn around in the cemetery and cut out the middleman! Ouch that's brutal
