Besides the cool, nearly 100-year-old rough-riding Model T Ford pickup truck, this nicely shot 6-1/2 min video includes some pretty Canadian scenery. There's very little audio, other than the sound of the old Model T itself.

This 1925 Model T has a few extras, including a Ruckstell rear end and a 2 speed Universal transmission."

WONDERFUL post! Thank you.
That’s seriously old.
Of course my Camaro will have its 54th birthday next month.
I still seriously love that show. Eva was so good to look at and played it so well. And as a self secure man can admit that Eddie Albert was a very handsome man in the classical traditional manly sense.
I’ve been on Hwy.80 here in
San Diego which was built
in the 1920’s and just think
,,,all the Model T’s that
Rumbled up that last moutain west of El Centro!
It’s said Hwy.80 had more
Traffic westbound than
Route 66!
My father survived his landing craft being destroyed upon taking explosive rounds, just short of reaching a Japanese held beach. He passed on what he could remember of the events before; and, those impressions after a gap, which resulted from concussive injuries.
Though not connected, there is a warm spot of appreciation for those who took action in-the-moment, that made a difference. Eddie Albert is one such person.
A junior Reserve Naval Officer, Edward Albert Heimberger, conned his landing and supply craft while under heavy fire to rescue dozens of U.S. Marines. Not once, not twice, but more times he loaded the wounded found by their stranded vehicles and ferried them to his supply ship for aid. No one knew this bit of his personal history until outed by a documentary of the Battle of Tarawa, some fifty years later.
