Thank you for watching our videos. We appreciate your feedback on our music choice and addressed it in our newer videos!

[@KyleSweitzer]

Great channel, keep up the good work!

[@boostbogan]

I would prefer the "music" to be replaced with Donald's singing ❤

[@caspianwendell]

Agree, the music is distracting from great information. It’s Jay Leno for Pete’s sake, why would you do that to him?

[@saebyounis1529]

No need whatsoever for the music. Distracting.

[@boataxe4605]

I love music, in fact I’m a musician, but there’s a time and place for it and two guys talking about a car is not it.

One of the best overviews of the Model T I’ve ever seen. I really believe Jay is the most knowledgeable automotive historian in the world. Not an exaggeration .

[@TheArkDoc]

I appreciate these videos with Donald and Jay so much. These two are walking encyclopedias of everything automotive. I would love to sit down over coffee with these two and just listen to their conversations. Both are national treasures in my humble opinion.

Very good video ... Wen I was 17 years old I answered an add in the news paper for an add that an older lady put for a car for sale in Chicago for $500 .. Me and my brother went to see what she had was a 1917 model t it had two functioning doors one on the passenger side front and the other door on the driver's side rear and the barn had a pit in the floor whitch the car was in on the passenger side .. We got the car out of the pit took it home with in a couple of days we had that car running .... I had the car for only a few years and sold it .... Lol I wish I still had it ... It was a joy to drive it ......

There is some literature on vanadium steel where they twist an axle several times without breaking it.

Thanks, nice overview of couple of T’s..... I learned to drive a “ CAR” on the RURAL roads of Noble/ Kosciusko Counties Indiana with a 28? FORD ( DAD had got it @$250.00 just after totally rebuilt in 1960(.?). Of course, many Farm kids Drove **tractors and Trucks** on Roads , if working at early ages ( me included), interestingly:supposedly THE original owner had installed FORD TRUCK,signals on fenders .. ANYWAYS, we have bunch of Cars here In Montana (a 1931 STUDEBAKER & more at MONTANA AUTO MUSEUM: DEERLODGE, MT, ETC!!)......great times, good work Jay and Donald,......like the “ opposing” or both sides Relationships,,,..

1:02 DAMN! That is the BEST condition Model T that I have ever seen! Oh wait, it's Jay Leno's, of course it is!

[@nicokamper4434]

i drive a 1914 model T , in the Netherlands, the older T s has lots of room for big e tall people, ok, 2 in the front will make it "cozy" still lots of leg room, once you learn how to drive a T its extremely nice, even easy, it feels like sitting on the couch at home playing a video game, starting with a crank you have to learn, had a sore wrist, if your a big man it will not brake your arm, by a cold start, the gears can stick, crank it and it likes to jump at you, for a smaller person a good idea to put a block of wood in front of the wheel, i just push back, like i do with an unruly cow, took it off road too, amazing, the whole frame moves with the terrain, that is in the design, top speed is 75 km/h, not for the freeway, most parts are easy to get, the cars body is unrestored, i like it that way, what matters is, that the motor and such is in the best of shape, staying as original and safe as possible, those T s where used for everything, as tractor, as powerplant, in world war one the french army used them with tracks instead of wheels, the swedish did put them on skies, its even known to drive up stairways, in reverse it will do, didnt try yet, indeed the T is an amazing car,

[@g.a.c.4139]

Are you the gentleman who made a wonderful video about driving his T in the snow on a long trip? Its been quite a while since I saw the video...so I don't remember the title. I live in the USA since 1966, but I was born in Delft.

[@nicokamper4434]

@@g.a.c.4139 no, but i looked at that video as well, he is from Sweden, where in the usa do you live ? did live in close to Vancouver bc did travel the entire west coat and Alaska, not in a T but i did own a 1924 for some years, i live close to Breskens now and bought a 1914 with carbid lamps last year, if you come to NL come over, love to take you out for a spin,

[@IamJunius]

Another great video. I had never heard of the Mennonite T before. Kind of makes you wonder who in Ford marketing came up with the idea, I can't imagine market was very large.

[@hyzercreek]

I have an Amish model T........a horse

[@deltabloo]

I read an article by a man who lived in Pennsylvania during the fifties. He said the Mennonite kids won all the stoplight drag races. Why? Mennonites bought 58 Chevys with zero options, no heater, no carpet only rubber floor mat, three on the tree and a 348. Light and fast!

[@Charlesb88]

Minor correction Jay but Beta wasn’t entirely clearly better then VHS in all aspects. While initially it had a somewhat superior picture quality it only got 1 hour of recording time per tape (Beta 1). VHS had 2 hours of recording time per tape out of the gate (in standard play or SP mode) but also had slightly worse picture quality. Beta then fixed this with Beta II which double the recording time in SP mode but as a result lowered the picture quality to around VHS standards. This all meant that Beta and VHS competed more on others features throughout the 80s rather picture quality such as extended recording modes like SLP, slow motion playback, freeze frame, stereo sound, etc until Beta throw in the towel in the late 80s. Yes, VHS did beat Beta, partly by flooding the market with VHS VCR’s do to a very unrestricted licensing scheme for the standard by JVC, its inventor.

[@Charlesb88]

@@mommymilestones Actually, there are a many popular KZbin channels talking about old video technology or other retro tech on KZbin so obviously some people care about this stuff. I’m sorry that retro tech stuff bothers you much but everybody has interest that others think ore stupid, including you most likely. Some people think obsession with vintage car tech is dumb but fortunately for Jay or Donanld they don’t get to decide what they takes an interest in.

Didin't the planetary transmission have something to do with Dodge Bros.?

[@g.a.c.4139]

Horace and John Dodge were Henry's partners in the early days. Many T parts were made by the Dodge Brothers, and most of them are identified by a "DB" cast or stamped into the part. The two brothers and Henry didn't get along very well, so they sold their Ford shares and used the money to start the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company in 1914. I've owned 2 early DB's, and once you drive one, you would never go back to a T.

[@g.a.c.4139]

Who doesn't like a T? ...and everyone has a story about one. Your T in this video is a beautiful example of a mostly original car, I like it! But please use care in your presentation, many folks today don't know much about automobile history, so when you speak about Model T facts in this video, many folks may think it applies to 1925 (the year of your car). Much of what you said was more relevant at the birth of the Model T in late-1908, but not so much in 1925. In 1925, the T was horribly outdated and obsolete, and Henry's refusal to replace it was about to sink the entire Ford Motor Car Company. Fortunately Edsel Ford came along to save the day, but that's a story for another time.

In Ohio, Mennonites were called 'black bumpers'.

[@thomasdrake8452]

Kevin: In Pennsylvania the Mennonites were referred to as Black Bumper Amish. Their belief system is very similar, except for the use of electricity and powered vehicles. Like Jay said, they would buy a stripped down, Ford, Chevy, Plymouth or other cheap car/truck and paint all the chrome and other bright work black. My brothers first wife was from a Mennonite family, but did not follow the faith.
