The interesting thing about that is left handed steering was not originally mandated for early automobiles. Henry Ford liked to go fast and pass what ever wagon, bicyclist or herd of sheep was in from of him and passing was easier accomplished with steering on the left. The Ford Company built so many cars that all others in the US fell in line. There is 1 Model T body called the Ford 3 door and the drivers position is pretty much center, to my memory. At one time there was one @ The Petersen in L.A.

"It makes everyone happy. It makes ME happy. It's just FUN!" Couldn't agree more! I own one of these and love it so much. A great, drive-around-town kind of car (and actually packs in some get-up-an-go on the back roads!) The only tricky part is trying to find someone who is willing (and not afraid) to service it.

It was very interesting to learn more about this car! For me, this is related to my childhood. This model was featured in the Doctor Who series and it's spin-off series The Sarah Jane Adventures, where this car was owned by Elizabeth Sladen's wonderful character, Sarah Jane Smith.

The Figaro was Sarah Jane Smith's car in "The Sarah Jane Adventures".

I bought a 1988 Ford F-150 with the XLT Lariat trim. Top tier trim package, with power windows, power locks, and full climate control (AC and heater, not just a heater). It's been somewhat reliable the past year I've owned it, and I've fallen in love with it. I'll be hopefully beginning a full frame-up restoration someday soon on it. I understand the comment at 11:50 about liking the fuss and having to fiddle with things constantly to stay on the road. And 3-speed automatic transmissions, my truck has one of those, are just interesting because the engine is just screaming at high RPMs at highway speeds. I love it, but it isn't great in some cases.
