>>can't drive 55
It actually can, with a head swap, and a 2-3 speed rear axle. You can get 40-50hp out of the block without adding any mechanical complexity.
>>half of it is wood
The frame is vanadium steel, wire wheels are made for it, wood is an easy material to work with, and lasts a long time with modern coatings
>>metals with different polarities
Nigger, modern cars have opposite-polling metals in contact. My house has opposite-polling metals in the central heating system. Model T's from the 1910's are still running.
>>rickity as shit
Yeah, if you don't care for them. I'm not going to simply buy one and run it like a normal car.

>>17015488
This. Reliability back in the day simply meant no catastrophic failures. Still needs upkeep.

I seriously hope you don't plan on going 60mph. The thing has a single drum brake in the rear.

>>17015803
>single

What.

>>17015245

Most modern euro diesels struggle to hit that.......

>>17015850
He's talking shit, it has twin rear drums as well as a transmission brake, but only the tranny could be operated in motion

did you just try to say lack of emissions was a bad thing?
Do you really think a tiny fucking car has any impact on the environment at all? Even all cars pollution put together doesnt equal the amount of pollution from the top three cargo ships in the world. also

Reliable in that era was not breaking down every 100km. With an engine swap every 10k km.

Not him but the model T was rock solid and dead simple

Keep in mind this car was made in a world where paved roads were uncommon outside of cities

Shit did well offroad and handled the abuse well

>head-on collision

>>17017279
>shit did well offroad and handled the abuse well

It only did well offroad in the sense that you'd become well acquainted with every rut and bump on the road. As well they only handled the abuses so well because that suspension was as tight as a piano string

Not just rear drums, but unassisted rear drums that you activate with a cable like a bicycle, no hydraulics.

Y'know, I decided not to say anything, but this.

It CAN go 60mph, but you really really don't want to be on it when it does. If you're thinking of commuting in this thing for gods sake don't do it.

Go take a ride in a nice model t someone near you has.

and then theres all the safety features that are nonexistant.
theres also the fact that the act of driving it is different than anything nowadays, and we all know hard for you to learn things, and your autism makes change much harder

how can "lack of emissions" pollute, you fucking retard? I really hope you're just pretending for (You)'s.

no spare parts avalible

no air bags

Don't know a lot about these cars personally, and this thread has been very interesting.
Yeah. Who really wants an airbag and emissions controls on a classic car anyway.

My grandfather drove a Model T back in the days when they were normal to see on the road, and he always said the Model A was a vast improvement over it in each and every way.

>>17015238
>60 mph

yeah okay no that's not how it works buddy

>>17017133

A gang of Trabants drove halfway around the world through some of the toughest environs on the planet. And it's made of pressed cardboard.

Go figure.

>>17021570

Driving one is not like driving a modern car.

Magneto ignitions are finnicky bastards.

Our great-grandfathers spent a good part of an hour getting the car ready to drive.

Are you sure you have that ability?

>>17015238

Can you get decent modern tires for these things?

>>17022037
If you drove in the early 1900s you still needed to understand basic mechanics and be able to do manual tire repair/swaps as well as wheel swaps by the roadside.

Also Model Ts didn't run magnetos. They ran a primitive but usefully redundant trembler coil system which is actually multispark!

/o/ is not an antique car forum. Go to those for Model T info. Not here. Check out antique car meets like Hershey and Carlisle in PA if possible.

Be a mechanic or eager to learn.

Model T EcoBoost when?
