Ode to the Model T

Since I guess I've been on somewhat of a car kick of late, here's an interesting bit that my son sent me about the Model T, of which some 15 million were built.




Despite having a 177 cid I-4 engine producing an anemic 20 HP, these things would go where today we'd only take 4WD vehicles, since there weren't so many paved roads in those days. Of course, the closest I've come to driving a Model T has been the Cleburne Chaparral cars at Six Flags.

I think our cars, as well as our resolve, were a lot more durable then.
