In 2008 I drove my 26 roadster (the original "Turd") to the Centennial Celebration in Indiana and drove it on that race track, it my be the only car ever to run there with a bicycle on the back, it was a fun time. Thanks for helping me to relive that memory, great video.
I love cars fron 1914-28 era! I grew up using road maps to get places in the early 70's! Now my 36yr old son can't get anywhere if his cars GPS isn't working! We'd all be better off going back to the method you demonstrated! Great video!
Building my own 1927 right now. Just bought a touring body, and while I'm waiting to bring that up to Snuff, it will transition through a Speedster and a C-Cab Flatbed-Stake.
I love seeing people running the throttle on the wheel. It’s pretty convenient but the whole pedal thing was a bit to get used to. I prefer model a fords more but will still take my 23 dodge out
I currently have a 1912 Model T touring car, a 1915 Model T light delivery truck (under construction), a 1924 Model TT truck (also under construction), and a 1922 Studebaker Special Six. I sold the 1927 Model T touring car in this video earlier this year to fund the other projects.
That is one of many variations of what is called a "fat man" steering wheel. It is designed to swivel out of the way to make it easier for people of, shall we say, "ample proportions" to get behind the wheel of a Model T. There were many variations on this design.
I recently put up a video of an English Model T, a fella commented cooking of the manifold was a myth, whats your take over in America, these Model T look a lot of fun to be honest
Manifold cookers go back to the 20s at least. I'll see if I can find references. I've also heard of folks in the Great Depression Era attaching a metal lunch pail to the engine to make food on the go. My dad was a semi truck driver in the 1970s and 80s, and he cooked a lot of meals in aluminum foil on top of the block. I'd say as long as cars have existed, someone has thought of it.
@20thcenturyadventures thanks for that, I'd say it's genuine, the fella I met with a 1913 model T had a kit and used it, I think it's got to smrll good as you drive along

I forgot to mention that I drove from Oregon and back

I can't find my way on Google Maps, but hand me a paper map, and I'll not only find my way every time, but I'll fold it correctly when I'm done.
Fun tour that we were on! Also a great video!
Great tour, thanks for taking us mortals along!
Great episode! Wonderful footage, and thanks for the info about the old-time navigation methods
What a Fun video 😊 What a Great Tour!
Enjoyed every minute, even the old scratchty record music. Tmodeldriver
I think navigating with that book, maps and the mileage tool would be a lot of fun. Very interesting, thank you!
Unfortunately, some of the roads and most of the landmarks are gone, but some are still there, and it is extremely satisfying.
You make me want to buy a 1927 blue book, volume 3🤣👍
Thankyou , what a great video . Keep em coming.

The Good old days before we were blighted with the 21st century hand built and not bought! Come back 20th century!
Excellent
This was awesome!!!!

I have a photo of my grand dad and his folks standing next to a new '27 Ford.
I think you lapped the field a couple two three times.
At least once, for sure. That car may not look like much, but it has a freshly rebuilt engine and transmission, and it loves to go!
What great video!! And perfect backroads country to drive them thru! How many do you own and what models are they?

Is your car equipped with a custom steering wheel or was it an aftermarket wheel?it’s much more sturdy looking! Thanks

What do you call that doohickey you have on the fob?
Map mileage calculator.
@@20thcenturyadventures I found the actual technical name for it, to locate one. It’s called an opisometer. Sorry I hadn’t looked very hard yet.
No music!
Turn your sound on? There's definitely music.
