most interesting interior,i wonder how many butts have used the seats hehehehe.
Great shot Mike!
Great work on this very cool birthday dedication, Mike.
Wow, thanks Mike for this. My entire life I've wondered how a Model T driver used these three pedals. I just looked up the details on Wikipedia. Let's see if I can recall what I just read:) The left pedal works together with the lever on the road side of the driver's seat to engage the two forward gears. The center pedal is used with the road side lever to engage the reverse gear. The road side lever also is repositioned for neutral. The right pedal engages the transmission brake (no brakes on the wheels). The throttle is advanced or retarded using a small lever on the steering wheel. My father (born in 1908) told me a story of he and his father (born in 1879) learning to drive their very first car, a Model T, in 1923. Apparently my grandfather (never a real good driver) couldn't figure out how to shift from 1st (low) to 2nd (high) and would roar around the neighborhood in low making my father crazy:-))) My father, being much more mechanically inclined, finally taught him to shift to high after some weeks of mild frustration. So now you and I both know what the three pedals are for...that ought to be good for some future trivial pursuit game!
Oh, the lever in your picture with the brass ball on top was only found in trucks. It was used to shift the transmission into another lower gear to help a truck climb steep hills. A friend of mine had a restored 1920 something 1-ton truck...its' top speed was 35mph. If that seems rather slow, he reminded me that in the 1920s most of the roads were dirt/mud and motor vehicles for practical purposes couldn't really go faster than 35 anyway. Live and learn:)
Looks so old )
Very cool dedication.
Now that's the way to make a car (truck), no carpet burns to worry about there lol Neat dedication mate Rob
It's a very nice capture!
