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.

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

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

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

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

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,

Why didn't they use electric lights?

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

@@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 ?
