1922 Ford Model T Roadster How to Start & Engine Sound & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile

No wi-fi, touch screens, cameras, rain sensors or heated seats. How did people survive??? This car is a time capsule back to the normal working class guy who had a family and a mortgage. The simplicity of this car is incredible. I love the fact that the owner was also the primary mechanic. Certainly not blinding fast, but this simple little car is an icon of the early auto industry. Interesting video and well done, Lou.

Oh man! My dad told me about how his dad always had him laughing as he would rock in the drivers' seat going uphill as if he was helping the old Model T along its way up the grade. Grandpa died before I was born, but I've seen his pictures and can now fully visualize him doing just that. Getting to know this Model T through you is a blast! Twas a gorgeous work of art when new, obviously - and a little bit complicated, while simple to maintain. Awesome! Dad never said if Grandpa's T was a roadster or not - I am assuming not. In fact it just now occurred to me that Dad passed 4 years ago today. So my visit here is entirely coincidental. Thank you, Lou, for having done this! I always appreciate your content and efforts providing it.

The Model "T" started the whole movement of cars, first in the States, then, all over the world, including my country Costa Rica!

I have a few of these myself, mostly older. I must compliment the gentleman on the quality of his restoration, it really looks great and correct for date. I have the exact same tool box next to me - I was restoring it this week, The only thing wrong is the spokes were painted black. I like natural better myself. I'm doing a 1917 roadster this year - which involves a lot of searching.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Alex, Happy to read you have some too :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@tgreifhahn]

Spokes were always painted black from the factory. Dealers would have replacement wheels that were not painted, customers would request that the dealer replaced the black wheels with the unpainted spokes. They would later varnish the spokes, and that became very popular.

[@malkay8]

This one was AWESOME Lou. I always wanted to know how to actually drive one of these things because I never knew how the 3 pedals worked, as I knew the weren't the same as today's cars LOL.

Note the spokes are round, only car to ever do that, but they were turned an a lathe. All others were oval, formed by shaving. Took one of these apart, 100% in 1967. Rebuilt everything and back together. You can tear down and reassemble in about a day if you want to.

I saw another video before this one where the guy had to use rhe crank outside of the car to start it. In this case it had an electric start, that was much easier. The driving operation was still the same. Cars today are much easier. In my family my uncle talked about my grandfather having a Model T pickup truck. I never saw that it or knew my grandfather. A guy that was a parent of one of my wife's daycare kids had a shop behind his house where he restores Model Ts and Model As. He gave me a tour of his shop and showed me his personal Model T. It was quite interesting. Beyond that the closest I came to owning one was building a plastic1:30 scale Model kit.

My dad & mom moved from Orange City Iowa in 1925.In my dad`s car were my parents,my Uncle Al,my Aunt Hilda.And with all their belonging were also my 3 brothers and one year old sister!! They moved to Grand Rapids,Michigan a distance of 653 miles! I sent this true story to the READERS DIGEST for possible publishing in the LIFE IN THESE UNITED STATES because when they tool Route 20 east to Dubuque,Iowa it had been raining hard all day and when my dad got close to Webster City my da saw a road sign but could not read with the heavy rain,so he stopped the car and my Uncle got out and walked back to read what rhe sign read and it read,WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS MORTON SALT!

This car changed everything. Before the Model T, cars were like private jets. Only the ultra-rich had them, and they were almost like a novelty. They were expensive to manufacture, and awful to maintain. The Model T made cars cheap to manufacture, and affordable to the emerging middle-class. Now having a car was an achievable goal for most people. They also revolutionized mass production and changed how we made things. It is a marvel of engineering in many, many more ways than one.

Still have them, my Grandfather looked at them back then and knew exactly what they were and more importantly how to use them. Said he made a few temporary connecting rod bearings and main bearing repairs out of old harness leather. Didn't last long but beat walking or messing with horses which he wanted no part of.

[@DavidRLentz-b7i]

David R Lentz, USA At first I was going to say, “Well, that was interesting” (and it was, as far as that goes), or something to that effect. In truth, it was both delightfully enjoyable (short of experiencing it in person) and immensely instructive. I enjoy building model kits, including vehicles in certain categories; 1) private passenger cars from round the 1920s through to the early 1940s, stock, showroom new and pristine, original parts and paint colour scheme, Mr. Greifhahn, your black 1922 Ford Model T Roadster fits that to a T! 2) tractor trailer rigs and large, work-related trucks, generally from round the 1970s and the 1980s, 3) construction, excavation, etc., vehicles (bulldozer, cement mixer); 3) emergency response conveyances (fire truck, police cruiser, ambulance), all of standard design, with routine wear, road dust, etc. So I like the opportunity to have a close look at the real vehicles (I am very myopic), to find the myriad details-the four small, metallic rings that open the hood, the spark plug wiring-that no amount of book learning can convey. Thank you, Mr. Costabile and Mr. Greifhahn. Perchance would either of you, or anyone you know, have a 1920s Duesenberg, Lincoln, Packard, Cord, Auburn, Oldsmobile touring car, or the like? I know of kits of these that I would like to build more accurately.

@@gunslinger2172 Before cars and going way back, it was common to always pass others on the left. Reason being you would carry your sword on the right so passing others on the left, you were always able to fight if need be. Some parts of the world just decided to stick with what was standard and common at the time i guess.. im pretty sure some of the very first automobiles in America had the steering on right because it wasnt really known which side was the better way to travel with vehicle.

Just a comment about the 'coach lights'; yes, they were used as a running-light in town, but they were also used as a parking light, which in many towns, you had to burn all night long if parked on the street (just on the side where the traffic was). These were acetylene, so they would not run the battery down

My Great Great Grandfather the Father of My Grandfathers Wife bought a New Model T in 2016.. I have a Family photo with it and a Story of how he didn't know how to drive it when he first bought it .. I think he was a Township Treasuer at the timne but then was the Calhoun County Michigan Road Comissoner for many years.. I could send you the photo by e-mail if you are interesrted..

America's first true car they cost $500 brand new and back in the day that kind of money was nothing to sneeze at but still very affordable.

[@loucostabile]

Made the freedom of transportation available to all people

[@tgreifhahn]

When new this car was less than $300. At a time when a worker was earning five dollars a day. Henry Ford believed that a man who is building the car should be able to afford it.

1912 was the first year of electric start. Cadillac was the first manufacture to do so. The Model T was outfitted in 1919.

These masonry homes were built in the 1920s by a contractor from California his name was John Mills they built about 1000 homes in this area and the homes were complete with a garage, fence. All of the streets and alleys were paved. The street lights were in and the community also had a great school and park.

Hey Lou. Another awesome video. Nice looking hat Tom Greifhahn is wearing. I have a similar hat of my own. I've seen Model T Fords before. I remember one year there was a rally here in Seattle, Washington, where a convoy of Model Ts drove through every city and town in the country. Whether the rally *started in* Seattle, or whether Seattle was simply one of the places they drove through, I cannot remember. But I remember seeing these vehicles driving through town. I would give drivers either a thumbs up, or sometimes the "peace" sign. For being over 100 yrs old, they seem to run good. :)

my father built a tractor out of a model A ford back around 1938. hooked two rears together to get low gearing, full size tractor tires, looked like a farmall A. made lots of attachments including an exost powered lift. I remember metal straps instead of spark plug wires. his father used to kill the engine by putting his hands across those straps. you know, just for fun.
