Model T Ford Night Ride

[@GlitchFluxTheWolf]

Admittedly impressed at how bright the lights on it can be for ya, still wouldn't wanna stand in the way while you night drive

[@jeffboyles3611]

My dream car. I just subscribed. Hope you'll feature this great old car often. I've watched all the 1914 videos. It was a great year for the company, and the car too.

i cant believe a model t has better headlights than my 91 nissan

[@Clementinewoofwoof]

Truly a classic

[@RagtimeFreak86]

Thank you!

[@onefastslimjim]

They ain't LED's, but those work a lot better than I expected. Awesome stuff!

“You ready to go?” “Hol up fam lemme turn on the lights” _pulls out lighter_

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

Fantastic

Imagine if that’s how you had to drive still? Don’t think there be a lot of night driving.

[@TheNewcastlePilot]

Especially in this modern society where patience is a rarity. Imagine some impatient bimbo wanting to drive her car.

"Honey, have you seen my lighter? I'm taking a drive tonight"

[@proto1132]

Hell yeah!

[@theminicooper]

Nice!!! But for the driving POV demo, would've been nicer without the aftermarket electric light to get the real sense of how little light output the factory headlights have!

[@KevinPDunn]

Thanks for sharing

[@T.E.S.T.2]

I can't believe they didn't use flamethrowers as lights.

[@lightness1701]

Super cool

[@stilldomi]

[@tucka1234]

Where is the acetylene bottle? And how long do they last

[@RagtimeFreak86]

The Acetylene tank is mounted to the running board... I don't use it that often, I've had it there for a few years and it has yet to run out

[@ertsixbarf]

originally it came with a gas generator, bolted on the left running board, i always carry carbide and water with me for my 1914 T here in the Netherlands, when done properly, the lights can burn for a good 5 hours, but boy, its a learning process, a bottle could be installed and was much easier, but expensive, so most owners did it with the gas generator, and only 2 headlights, those lights can be set sideways but not up or down, never mind, on a speed of under 30 mile/h it does well, back then, roads were goat trails,

[@CinemaCircuitVibes]

I filmed this. Just saying...

[@MartinThePanda]

Why didn't they use electric lights?

[@RagtimeFreak86]

The filaments in early light bulbs could not take The rattling and bumping around of a model t and would tend to prematurely burn out... Asetalean lamps at the time where more reliable

[@ertsixbarf]

@@RagtimeFreak86 also, no generators yet on the 1914 T s, no way to charge anything and only the cities had electricity, acetylene was the only way to go back then, this car was/is amazing, you can use it as a tractor, powerplant, take the front window off, and move super long boards, ladders, the French army used them with tracks like little tanks, also as ambulances, during the 1st war, the swedish but skies underneath them like a snowmobile in winter, what can a T NOT do ?

[@mr.f1387]

You forgot your taillight

[@perrysphonographsrecords]
