A Model T takes some practice - three floor pedals and none of them are the accelerator.
You can break your arm starting one of those things if you don’t hold the crank right. That crank can kick like a mule.
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.)

What did they do then?
