A Toy No Longer - The Impact of the Ford Model T

- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- Thanks to Henry Ford, what started out as a "play thing" for the very wealthy, soon became a tool for the everyday man! It may not have been the first car on the road. It may not have been powered by the most common, patented method of propulsion. And it certainly wasn't the most sophisticated vehicle offered to the public. However, the Ford Model T was affordable and accessible. As a result, over 15 million of them were produced and driven on the roads of America and abroad! Join Donald Osborne as he shares the story of the Ford Model T and the mettle of its creator!

I was working today on refinishing parts for my 1917 Model T when I was delighted to see you on this little piece. First clear and concise explanation of the Seldon patent and case I've heard. There are running improvements in the automobile that make it challenging to put together a correct , from the factory car. The example behind you has demountable wheels which were not on the pre-1918 car's when they came from the factory. I have 4 model T's which started my serious addiction to early automobiles. Along with a 1918 TT truck I have not started on yet.
My true love remains my Packards and early Chryslers but the T's are historic and revolutionary - as an engineer, I see genius in the power train and economy of function that cannot be appreciated until you restore one of these great old cars.
Don't tell the Packard's, but I am running away with an Auburn when I find one that I can restore. Always a pleasure to watch your videos - Cheers
That's a solid collection of automobiles. Best of luck with them, and thanks for watching!
I work at the factory that made the Model T,
You can take the old production pictures and line them up 100 years later.
Great documentary, thanks 👍.
its funny how Americans think they were leading car development at any point in history. True they have a car culture but their road going cars just last decade got up to what Germans were doing prewar. Germans themselves stole from Tatra quite a lot but that's another story.
Donald Osborn is the best!! Very classy!! Thank you sir
Thanks Audrain. I admire your dedication, enthusiasm and style.
Thanks for your support!
When I finally get my '27 roadworthy (which shouldn't be too long), I'm going to drive it as my daily driver, until the wheels fall off...
And then drive it some more.
Come to an Audrain Cars & Coffee! We'd love to see it!
@@AudrainMuseumNetwork
Thanks...
I will😁👍
Rhode Island to would be quite the road trip, from Detroit.
Something I like to point out about the Selden Patent is that it shows a front wheel drive car, with a transverse mounted engine. Most people think the British Mini was the first car to use this idea!
Fantastic video!
Glad you liked it!
Very good. I subscribed.
Thanks for the sub!
the car could be assembled quickly by semi skilled labor but to be sure the parts were designed and patterns and jigs made by very skilled people.
We need the electric or better yet hybrid electric cheap and well made equivalent today. Ford maverick maybe ? cant build them fast enough.
Model T racing is pretty entertaining! And STILL AFFORDABLE. -Especially when you don't use any of the body. 😄
I’m no expert, but that sure didn’t look like a band saw to me.
If you want to cover early landmarks, come see my 1925 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost. The car that made Rolls-Royce famous. It’s my daily driver… in 2023!
Jay couldn't be here.. he's too busy falling off motorcycles.
He didn’t fall off the motorcycle, he was yanked off
@@mitchellragle6415 jokes don't require details, but as a consequence of hitting the wire, he fell off the bike..
A friend of mine is a sociologist, he adds that the automobile greatly improved the human genetic makeup by alllowing really mixed marriages limiting consanguine mariages !
huh? the term is consanguineous marriage or inbreeding for short; trains allowed for people to travel much cheaper and easier than motor vehicles and immigration also limited inbreeding.
@@petesmitt sorry I am french...cars went between villages where trains had no lines and Model Ts were cheap enough
@@denislesperance852 sure; I'd say bicycles were the original opportunity for easy travel to different villages, away from the home village.
Good details, presented with class and grace. Today, I am beginning the plotting for building a Bus on my TT Truck chassis.
You're wrong, Donald. It was not the Model T that got the public to take motoring seriously because it had too many deficiencies: no water pump, no distributor and no electric starting. As the Dodge Brothers observed, it wasn't a real car. It was instead the Dodge Brothers car that made the public take motoring seriously. You need to go back to your history books and study harder.
Then after They started Their manufacturing of motor cars in 1914 ( electric starter option in 1919 for Ford) and STILL today , DODGE will be known as number two . 💩💩💩
15,000,000 drivers can't be taken seriously....
Wow, just wow!?!?!?
@@clc2328 No, they can be taken about as seriously as people who bought Yugos. Do you let people like that advise you about what car to buy?
@@marvinellis1517 And your point is...??
