Three years ago, I met a couple who had driven their Ford Model “T” part way across country on back country roads. Their top speed across all that, was 39 MPH.

The husband had made a new front left wheel “rim” from scratch - it was plain old perfect.

As I looked over the engine and car, I realized that you could use 3 - 4 different wrenches, a hammer and screwdriver, to fix almost everything. Turns out, I have that tool set somewhere, that belonged to my grandfather.

I wondered, are Model “T”s for sale? Yes, I found a Model T pickup truck for $16,000. I wish; sort of.

Anyway, the wife smiled when I asked husband to start the car? Yep. Great moment.
