GTOguy will love this. A pristine 1912 Ford with original snow skies. An amazing restoration.

Not too many left that know how to drive a Model T. I'm one. Sorry for the grainy pics. The pic with the '63 Chev was before military service, the pic with the Model T was right after I got back.

Model T Fords were about as versatile as the WW II Jeep in their day.

I drove a Model T once when I was a teenager. Probably need a quick refresher course. Lots of seat time in Model A's.

Like Mike, I haven't driven a Model T since I was a teenager. The AACA Museum in Hershey, PA offers a "Drive a Model T" experience that my wife signed me up for in July for my birthday. Should be fun.

I am going to buy a model T and enjoy it but when I get so old I cannot drove it any more I’m going to set it on fire in a field so no one else can have it either. Particularly my kids.
