What a great channel. You guys are making great content. Meeting nice people too

I restored a 1975 Toyota Celica. Just for giggles, I took it to my local Toyota dealership for a service. I looked over to the service bay to see my car up in the air and NINE service techs under the car looking at it. Seven of which were not alive when the car was built.

Customer : I am afraid the starter is a bit tired. Ford technician: I'll bring him some coffee.

When driving a car like this, you dont just say "What a great day", you use words like splendid and marvellous, terrific...

One does not simply pass a model T. You stay back and revel in its presence. Ya’ll made Ray’s day, he will never forget that

Seems like an average stealership visit. Barely did any work, didn't do it properly, had someone work on it that didn't know what they were doing and charged you an arm and a leg for the privilege.

Last April Fools I drove my WWII Jeep to the nearest Jeep dealership and asked for a renewal of my warranty. The guy workin' there was surprised, and then said "I think your warranty expired in 1946."

Kind of sureal seeing a 100 yr old Ford next to a 2024 Ford lol

"if i wouldnt send my wife out in it i would warn my customer." now thats a real mechanic right there... im glad he got the opportunity to drive one of these true classics.

That guy ray was my mentor. He’s one of the most humble coolest dudes ever. My family eats everyday because what this man taught me.

To see working, fully functional model-T in this day and age that isn't in a museum and still driven is amazing.

You know Ray had a story to tell his friends, family and wife when he got home after that shift. I serviced a 100+ year old car!

Nobody deserves to drive that car more than Ray, that was awesome.

My late father would have been 101 this year. He could have told you what and how to fix anything on that car. He would have watched your channel with a big smile and shared stories.

Personally, I would have showed up at the dealer unannounced and acted like getting my Model T serviced was something that was perfectly routine. It would have been even more hilarious if they got to the dealership only to find out there were 3 other Model T cars ahead of them waiting to be serviced.

As a car guy watching the model t near the end drive by all those different years of fords was like seeing the whole family tree in one place pretty much. Such a beautiful moment captured

The number of these classic old bone-rattlers around me is astounding! Around twenty years ago I happened by an ice cream stand in a sleepy little town in south-east Michigan and saw eight Model-Ts from around 1908 to 1922 sitting in the parking lot. It wasn't a antique car show, it just so happened a couple of drivers stopped in for ice cream at the same time and before anyone knew it, they attracted more Model Ts! I don't know if they started to make it a regular event, but they should have! The oldest functional model I ever saw was a 1905 Ford Model C! The owner had to make an emergency stop in our apartment parking lot to swap out a battery.

Really enjoying this Model T stuff. I saw a sticker on the back of a T at a car show once that said, “If you don’t like the gear I’m driving in, you sure as hell won’t like the other one”.

That Ford mechanic is so wholesome he seems so excited to be driving it. Thats the best part of the video to me. Big ups to Ray.

You made those tech's entire month with this visit. These guys probably geeked out over that car for a long while after the fact. Great video fellas

109 years ago, model T surprised everyone when it shows up in the country. Nowadays, the model T still surprises everyone driving around the country

Dealership technician “ I know you only came in for an oil change but as a courtesy we performed our 146 point inspection which included a diagnostic scan and it showed that you have 36 trouble codes, some of which are emission related so the vehicle is unsafe to drive.” We can repair it and the estimate will be $23,652 including parts, labor, shop supplies, taxes etc. We can schedule the repair the third Tuesday of next month. When you get your vehicle back and it appears to run a little worse just ignore it. Oh by the way , please be sure to leave a 5 star review on our website.

When my Mom and Dad got married they had a Ford Model T as their main car. This was in 1949. At that time you could buy good running Model T s for a hundred dollars or so. My Mom was a home maker and she kept using that Model T as her going to town car up until 1970. (She broke her foot and could not drive the Ford with a cast) They had a newer car but they usually only drove the "Good" car to church and family trips. Dad drove a 1952 Chev Pickup and Mom drove the Model T. ( Dad drove that 1952 truck until he passed away.) They only owned four vehicles during their entire life.

Man that scenic driving looks so epic, open-top, cruising on a blue sunny day - life had a slower pace back then... looks so awesome!

This reminds me of my time in Hawaii. I had bought a VW GTI and found myself in need of a more qualified mechanic for a particular repair I was doing. Before you say it, I know, a foreign car on an island was a terrible idea but extremely fun ride. Anyways, I found a nearby mechanic that specialized in “unique” automobiles. I pulled up to this spot in the middle of nowhere and was greeted by a Model T similar to yours and a 1955 Chevy Cameo. Both perfectly restored but receiving routine maintenance. I knew I found the perfect place and rarely visited anywhere else during my time there. Please keep releasing vids like this. Love the channel!

You made Ray’s whole life with letting him drive this. This man most likely grew up working on cars for probably 40 years. He rolled out of bed that morning and groaned when his wife said “have a good day” and little did he know he would have a once in a life time experience

So many of these old cars were scrapped during WW2 for the war effort, that the ones that remain are real treasures to appreciate where we started from.

I have a 1923 model t have had it since 2008. Got it from a family member on my wife’s side they had owned it since 1950 sat in a ford dealership in Maryland before that. My dad and I spent a weekend working on it and had it running. It’s driven almost every weekend. Have no problem taking it in 100 mile cruises. And it’s mostly original. Except for paint and interior and convertible top.

I love this idea. I also guarantee you put a smile on everyone's face at that dealership and a memory for a lifetime. I can guarantee if I saw you in person I'd never shut up with all the questions. "You there, fill it up with petroleum distillate and re-vulcanize my tires, posthaste!"

The mechanic's smile when he had a chance to turn the handle and start the car was awesome. You could see it made his day.

Worked on a '27 Model T at a private shop as a back-burner project. We were amazed at how readily available parts and fluids were for it having found a supplier that specialized in old Ford. It was a blast to drive once repairs were completed!

That mechanic could have a KZfaq channel lmao he was pretty chill

Love the rural setting it's almost like a portal into the past. Like if you took a camera back in time 100 years ago and someone recorded a car vlog the footage wouldn't look much different than what you got.

We have a '22 T. For years when I was a kid, my dad and I would "buzz" the local Ford dealer, driving through the lot on occasion while having the car out. Every once in a while we would even go through the service lanes and it would bring smiles to all when we did. Unfortunately, 2008 closed some of these dealers and that came to and end. The car was parked for other reasons and not revived again until I put it back on the road in 2022 for the T club's annual tour in Hamilton OH. I'm glad you guys are enjoying your T. That's what they are for. Keep them alive!

I worked at Midas in the early seventies. At the time they were running a national ad featuring an elderly man named Mr. Creedy who drove an old Model A into Midas for a new muffler. They had one in stock and quickly fixed him up. Midas required all of their franchises to stock the Model A exhaust. We never sold one but I still remember that the part number was 301 after 50 years.

If you go to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI. The village was setup by Henry Ford to showcase the past, so the town is set in the early 20th century, with important buildings to Ford, and America. They got Henry's first factory, Edison's workshop, and the Wright Brothers home. They got Model T's running the village, I don't know how modernized those are but it pretty neat seeing them. Greenfield Village also has trains pulled by steam locomotives, a steam paddleboat, and early Ford buses.

I love that they had a 109 year old model T next to a $109,000 F350 truck!

My grandmother drove a Model T as a one room schoolhouse teacher in the 1920s. She died in 2006 at the age of 103. There was a picture of her on the front page of the paper with it 20 years ago.

People complain today about range. When my grandpa moved from Detroit to Indianapolis with a model t it took 3 days and they went through 10 tires on the way.

I know my '95 Toyota Pickup isn't any Model-T, but I've owned her for well beyond 100,000 miles now about 25k of which I knew the head gasket was working on a nice leak. After I moved far far away from home & my garage she finally started overheating, and I knew it was time to do the gasket. Being nowhere near my garage and after dead end phone calls with local mechanic shops I decided to give my local Toyota dealership a call. They were the only ones who'd take the job, and I got greeted by the techs who worked on the truck afterwards. There was an old head (their engine guy) who said he was happy to work on one after a decade, and the newer guys who said they'd never seen a job so simple roll in to their shop. Safe to say I left as a happy customer, I didn't know if my old truck would be in good hands but with the love these folks had for her I'm very glad I went to the stealership!

Thank you guys, I'm a fan of antique cars like yours. So getting to watch this after working on modern stuff all day really reminds me how different things really are now, and how special one of these truly is. It does absolutely have me appreciating the air conditioning, windows and those delightfully powerful disc brakes my truck has to bring 7700lb of metal to a stop safely.

My father used to tell me that all he needed for working on a model T was a monkey wrench, screwdriver and a hammer. We built and repaired many cars growing up. Unfortunately he passed when I was 21. He did pass a lot of knowledge to me. 45 more years would have been a blessing to me.

I saw an advert recently for a AA Ford truck. The seller mentioned that the brakes had been reconditioned and that the truck "stopped well.... in an old fashioned kind of a way"... I thought that was wonderfully descriptive.

As a mechanic this would have made my whole year to work on this car man. Hell, let alone drive it. I know that fella was smiling ear to ear after this, and is still probably talking about it. Its nice to see how far we have came since they were designed. Honestly It helps you understand things in some ways because the engineering back then was far simpler. But the fact that only one piece of that car still works the same, tells you how far we have came technologically since then. That was slightly over 100 years ago, i can only imagine what we will have in the next 100 years. However, I will say this, despite what they tell you.....electric cars are not the future. They aren't even feasible enjoy them while they last.

Bravo to that Ford dealership for working on your vehicle. I own a 1985 Toyota pickup with an RV on the back, and every dealer I went to blanched when I tried to get it worked on. Searching for parts gets harder every year. You'd think with only 75K miles on it, a brand new crate 22RE from Japan with less than 1K on it, and a 5 speed manual transmission swapped out from the auto that pretended to haul it, that they'd be happy to work on something so simple...but sadly, the youngsters just stared in horror when I pulled in! They admired it, but refused to lift a finger to service it! Nice car boys!

Ray was fantastic! So great you let him drive it! . . .undoubtedly a special moment for him,

Surprising an experienced 2024 Ford mechanic with a 100+ year old model T - that's what KZfaq was made for! 🤩

0:14 that parking job is atrocious

My uncle restored old cars. I have wonderful memories of riding with him in his Model A, Model T and Durant in antique car parades! From what I understand a couple ended up in a car museum.

My Great Grandmother Josephine learned to drive on one of these in the 1920s near Flint Michigan. She said that when she got her license, they didn't test her, but only asked if she could drive and then gave her the paper license.

I was enthralled with that pristine blue sky, dotted with clouds, and rolling green hills.... with that car roaming the dirt roads... that was beautiful imagery.

Back in the 80s I lived in Houston. I recall a story about a couple that had just renovated an antique car with a windshield like this. Once they got up to speed the windshield blew out and killed them. Have a good trip!

Used to see one of these every year at a local car show. 1908 Ford Model T. First car on the peninsula and its still here.

My dad actually got his dad a Model T back in the 70's and received it back in his fathers will years later. I grew up with it and we'd occasionally go out and about in it on a nice weekend afternoon. Go to several places, my dad would always get a crowd coming to check it out and happily go through the old classic features, show people how to drive it, etc. while my mom and I got the groceries or ran the errands while we were out. One nice thing is that it was always real easy to get some help to push it around a corner if it had a problem because so many guys were interested in it that they'd help push it to a safe spot just to get to talk about it for a bit. Always awesome to see these on the road.

My grandfather and his brothers drove a model T cross country in the 20’s. He said it was actually pretty reliable, the only thing that really went wrong was the tires. They had to patch the tubes so many times that eventually the tires would no longer hold onto the wheels, so they ended up wrapping wire they found along the side of the road around it, to hold the tire to the wheel. He also mentioned back then when you got to the desert, there was no road, you just drove through desert somewhat randomly in the general direction you were heading. They sold the car when they got to California, and came back by train, they accidentally forgot some tools from the tool kit in their luggage, and I still have them.

great-great-grandmother is in good shape!

In 1909 a new Model T cost $850, but by 1924 the price had gone down to only $260. The average assembly line worker could purchase one with four months' pay in 1914. So in 1924 it only costed about 4000$ nowadays. Astonishlingy cheap!

I’m only 40 years old but I spent a decade working on and restoring Model A and Model T Fords and it was always awesome driving around town grinding gears and people always love the horn.

Tommys yell when that 18 wheeler passed is pure gold!!!

Just discovered you guys due to this video, you guys have incredible charisma together. It's like watching a light hearted car podcast as you guys drive around. Really good job guys!

Just the view of that model t driving through the lot of all of the newer vehicles is a great showing of how far we've come.

when i was a teen in the 90's my grandpa had bought a 1916 Model T i helped him restore it he shipped the motor and trans out to be redone by a pro. the first summer i learned to be a carpenter and helped rebuild the wooden frame all the body panels attach to the second summer i spent filling and sanding body panels getting it ready for paint. i learned alot and was soo much fun to ride in after it was finished.

This reminds me of when I took my 78 VW Campmobile van to a Jiffy Lube in Salt Lake City. The young tech asked me 3 times to pop the hood, I kept pointing to the back of the van. Then I got out and walked to the back and opened the door to the engine compartment. By that time the manager had came out of the office and asked me if I wouldn’t mind taking somewhere else, since the people working there didn’t even know which end the engine was on. I found a quiet parking lot and changed the oil myself.

Honestly So cool. I remember as a kid getting a ride around the neighborhood in my uncle's restored model T. Love it.

I had the experience of riding in one of these as a kid, im 21 now and riding in one of these will always be one my greatest memories, such amazing pieces of history that most likely wont exist when im a grandfather.

My dad grew up on a farm north of Lebanon Indiana and they had a Model T pickup truck. Driving it around the farm it would get stuck, especially in the springtime mud. About 1925 my dad had the idea to put two real wheels side by side to help traction on both sides. Not sure how he fastened them together but he very well have made the very first "Dualie" pickup truck. No way to know if he was the first to have that idea but he recounted the story many times and he was not a liar. He passed in 1991, a good man.

These two guys are great. They look like they belong in the 1930's, and I love it! Thank you for caring for this part of automotive history. Beautiful!

My grandma grew up on a farm in Waconia MN. They were one of the first in the city to get a car. I am not sure if it was a model-t or something else but I believe it was right around 1920. It is fascinating to me to think 100 years is a long time ago but also not that far away to have relatives grow up in a time of horse and buggy and getting a car was unique and a first.

I lived in a town with a big classic car club, and i have to ssy. It was a privilege to be "stuck" behind a T or an A. Always made my day! Miss living in California!

A local Ford dealership here is the 4th oldest Ford dealership in the country and they have one sitting in their showroom that they bought back. They originally sold it like a hundred years ago and somehow it survived all these decades and it still runs and drives. It looked mostly all original and complicated to drive.

My grandfather, born in the 1880s, had a 1929 ford Coupe and when I was a young kid we zipped all around in it. His "new" car was a 1937 Ford Coupe. That was his every day driver and this was back in the 1950s when I was a kid in northern Michigan. Thanks for the video.

I love you attempting that drive in a Model T. I would have been honored to be the mechanic who not only got to work on it, but to have been given an opportunity to drive it! But I must say I was disappointed in Ray saying he thought that bolt was a 3/4” and “no one has standards sizes.” Any mechanic knows that a 19mm is the same as a 3/4. And what mechanic doesn’t have standard size tools? Yes, everything in our industry is metric anymore, but if he has been working as a mechanic for 40 years, things were standard back in the 1980s. And he also said that he has worked in early 1960s models. How did he do that without standard sizes? Sorry for the rant, but some stuff some mechanics say just drive me nuts. Loved the video, hope your Model T treats you well.

The rare few times I have seen someone driving a model T on the road, whether going by or following, makes me smile and feel happy. I'm glad people have kept the history alive!

My husband is a Ford senior mechanic and has worked on these cars anytime since he was a kid. He loved this car video. He can work on any age of model T and other old cars.

This video is amazing dude, wholesome and entertaining! Definitely subbed!

I love the fact you are treating the classic car so well. It's good to take care of our historic cars. Henry Ford would be proud to see your generation still driving his first mass produced car.

Honestly if you guys haven't already, I'd look into joining the MTFCI, (Model T Ford Club International). The annual tour is in mid July every year and it's in Michigan this year. There is generally about 230-260 cars that show up and we usually run between 600-700 miles during the week. It would make for really cool video. They do other events during the year, but this is the big one. We even had a couple from England last year. There is a wealth of information and plenty people willing to help with anything on the car. Best part is we run the wheels off of them.

You made Ray very happy for a day. Best part of this video.

My GG Uncle owned the first Ford dealership in Ct. Over the years he saved a few cars in brand new condition. One was a 60 something mustang. I cant remember exactly but the sought after one. I've seen that one. Another was a Model A and also 2 Model T's. One model T he kept still in the shipping crate. Back in the day the model T's arrived by train. The dealership picked them up at the train depot about a mile down the road. They were brought back to the dealership by horse and wagon in shipping crates and then the remaining assembly was done at the dealer. He saved one and when He passed away in 1985 at 105 years old He left most of his property to his head mechanic and now his son still has a shop at the former dealership location. I believe he has the car. Hopefully it makes its way to a museum someday.

My dad has a 1915 Model T touring he restored when I was about 12 years old, so I basically grew up around it, absolutely love that car and never plan on selling it. There’s nothing quite like a Model T 😊

Love that you gave the mechanic a drive. The first thing I did when I bought my first car, was let my best friend drive it, and enjoy giving him that experience and being apart of it.

I had never seen you guys before and I don’t even know much about cars, but I watched your full video! You guys are really entertaining and was super cool to learn a little something new and see different perspectives.

Well done guys. Lovely to see this old girl being driven. Best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧

What a great day for that Ford dealership to have a classic like that there…that car is awesome

My grandparents bought a 1918 Model T from the local Ford/Dodge garage/blacksmith shop. They traded it on a new 1929 Essex, quite an improvement.

First video from you that I've watched and I love this channel already, great content guys!

AWESOME!!!! I LOVE this kind of content, keep up the good work

Amazing. A guy like Ray absolutely deserves to drive this thing but is humble enough to provide customer service and not expect it.

all podcasts must now take place on a 100< year old car driving around the countryside. Seriously it's a big vibe just listening/watching you guys talk on the road.

Man, them ford dudes really chill and you guys always have that WOW factor and a magnet to me, seeing a hundred years old car running on the road is a bit therapeutic ngl and I wish I could drive one but in malaysia the oldest car I have seen was from the 70's. You guys are awesome, ford guys are awesome and the video is freakin awesome :D

My grandmother and her family moved cross country driving in a model T back in the 1930's. She said it was a grand adventure.

This is great. Years ago I took my '66 Mustang GT Fastback to a Ford dealership here in San Diego for an oil change and inspection and they offered to buy it. Said they wanted it for a showroom display. No dice and still own my car.

I actually own the first Tire Tool for these type wheels and tires. The old model T is tougher than people give them credit for. My grandfather had one when my dad was a child. They were driving back from Dallas to Joaquin when it started to knock. He said they pulled off at Trinity River, and my grandfather pull the oil pan cut up a Prince Albert can for shims and shim to bearings. The next morning they continued their trip home. It's good to see some young kids learning about these old cars and the old technology

What a wholesome video. Must have made that guy's day. Cool to see!

There's a guy who has a model t in the town I work in. I see him a few times a month during the summer going for drives. It's crazy to see his model t and then come home to my 62 impala and think wow. We came a long way in a short amount of time.

Your microphones are AMAZING. Blocking out wind and much of the background noise while driving is very impressive.

Seeing a kid showing that grizzled Ford wizard technician how to drive was priceless. Once he got out of his shell you could see sheer joy on his face.

You being in a rural area is a nice touch, with the unpaved road, this was the norm if you left the big cities.

What an awesome service department. Looks like a good place to work

As a technician I love when classic cars come in the older more obscure the better always brightens up the shop makes everyone go whaaat this things still road worthy. Love this for ray, and everyone else in that service department
