Pleasant piece of news, for a change.

But much like its owner, Pitman's beloved 1927 Ford Model T still has a lot of mileage left in it. This weekend, the pair will cover more than 600 kilometres

I love the smell of cognizant dissonance in the morning.

What gas can it take?

I’d think the usual 87 octane, with 10-15% ethanol, no lead might be hard on it.

But, the hardware store gas-in-a-can might be ideal - pure gas, no ethanol, but the price is upwards of $23 a gallon.

Nice. Thanks for posting.

Question for Antique Ford aficionado’s. IF a 1931 model ‘A’ is put together from a trailer load of (a collection of) parts from many other ‘A’ model cars is it worth less than a restored original? Curious as to how much less.

Long story about a great guy (now deceased) who made his car from a collection of old parts he had accumulated over many years. Now the old guy that bought the car (eight years older than me) is losing interest in maintaining the car I might consider purchasing it myself.

Nice name for a town. “Crapaud”. French for “toad”.

“I live in Toad, Prince Edward Island, eh.”

Stupid camera person can’t even give us a shot of the entire vehicle.

It doesn’t say how many miles it has been driven. Did 1927 Model T’s have odometers?

Awesome. These days, it’s nigh impossible to buy an auto without a lot of computerized electronic crap on it.

My Brother has owned his 32 Ford 5 Window Deuce Coupe for 55 Years. He’s a Piker compared to this guy. #;^)

I wonder what clairvoyant basis for that claim is.
