TRUE & IF you push down ANY 2 pedals the “T” will STOP.
FWIW, in 1927 my Uncle Josh decided that there would NEVER be a better/tougher vehicle for farm & rural use than a Model T or TT Ford & thereafter bought the last 5 new Model T cars & a TT “flat-bed” truck that the Ford dealer in Tyler, TX had. (The first Model A Fords were built in late 1927, as 1928 models.) = In 1963, when he passed away from old age, he had willed me the LAST “new” one that he had “stored away” for the future. - The last time that I saw it, it had FIFTY-SIX miles on it from driving it home from the dealer.
When we got home from his funeral, my father & I found that some CREEP had stolen the Navy Blue (with black fenders) Model T coupe during the funeral and/or graveside service, as well as “cleaning out” most everything “easily salable” from his house & barn.
(We notified the sheriff’s office, the Highway Patrol & our local Texas Ranger, but it was never found, despite the Sheriff’s deputies, THP & Ranger “Red” Arnold’s best efforts.)
Yours, TMN78247
Sounds like it was an “inside” job.
Someone was well aware of the car, valuables, and the timing of the funeral.
