Beautiful car and very knowledgable owner. I have a ‘26 Model T Touring Car which I finally got back on the road after sitting for decades. I’m having a lot of fun tooling around.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Gil D'Aquin, Happy to read you enjoy this car and Owner. Glad to read you have a fun Model T too you have back on the road :-) Well done! Lou

1919 Ford Model T does offered dismounted tires, optional self starter, and even optional bumpers. For 1928, Ford Model A bumpers are standard, and blue is added on the exterior color chart (for 1926 and 1927 Ford Model T does came with green and maroon, but only in 4 door sedans). For dismounted tires, the jack is mounted inside the wheel instead of outside of wheel, making changing tires easier.

Another beauty. I’ve seen one in Sydney probably too. I saw the first Model T probably about 12 years ago and I saw another one. I can’t remember if it was last year or the year before, but an elderly couple were just driving it down the road. I tried to get a photo of it but I wasn’t quick enough

[@loucostabile]

Hi Salazar, Happy to read this brings back memories of the one you saw in Sydney :-) Lou

Amazing, Automobile , love the 1919 Model T's, never knew they had optional electric starters, i thought, they were optioned in the early 1920's, i guess we learn new things everyday.

Lou, You always do a great job with your videos, so this one is no exception. However, the history behind this one is certainly an outstanding presentation. Rudy and his father have a direct link to the preservation of the Model T, by the formation of the club that is the main Model T club in the world. A great organization that publishes a wonderful magazine for this great, historic car. Thanks for sharing this historic presentation!

Great video offering a thorough overview of all the important features of the Model T. Impressively, almost scarily fast, considering the only brake is on the transmission... Mr. Stynoski makes driving the T look deceptively easy, a neat trick indeed.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Andrew Graham, Yes, He made this drive look easy. Clearly many hours behind the wheel making driving it second nature to him. Fun time :-) Lou

@@loucostabile Oh t here was more to the story I wished I remembered but one other I recall the tires of the day just had cotton cord in them, not too strong and my grandmother said at one point along the nearly nonexistent roads they were patching tires nearly every mile. We enjoy old cars but to them it was all they had, no choice- life wasn't too easy sometimes.

I saw your 1919 Roadster on another video on KZbin, Looked amazing, was that something kept in your family from the last hundred years or so, or later on in life your grandfather, passed to your father then passed to you? or was it something you decided to buy?

[@frederickcastiglione5448]

The Model T transmission was the first automatic transmission.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

Dodge Brothers built many components for the early Model T until Henry Ford decided to build those components in his own factories. Mr. Ford bought out the two Dodge brothers' ownership share which made those two brothers very wealthy. The first Dodge was a 4-cylinder car designed and marketed as an improved Model T.

[@loucostabile]

lou, if anyone would like to learn to drive the model T. I went to a 2 1/2 hr. class at the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners Michigan just this week. This is a world class museum and the Model T class was great fun. I drove 3 Model Ts With instructors who where just great. I highly recommend the class and a visit to the museum.

Can you do engine swapping on these so you could drive it on the freeway? Or make it an everyday ride if possible?

[@CreatorCade]

ProdigyImprovisation your joking right?

[@ProdigyImprovisation]

Josh Cade Well nothing in this world is impossible? If u only put your mind to it. I mean they have hot rods of the model t. So could keep the looks except swap it with a hot rod engine or something.

[@oldtimesmatthew]

Tou dont need to. With period accessories such as a high compression head, accessory carb, high flow intake and an improved cam, and maybe a ruckstell rear.end or auxiliary period transmission, you can easily.make a.T cruise 50mph.

[@loucostabile]

Might need upgrades to brakes, suspension, tires, rims, etc :-)
