@dpiddy022 Alright, lets both agree that in the beginning (1909) things were good. Good pay, good working conditions. Then comes 1929. From ’29 to ’33 unemployment went from 3% to 25%. Now comes the layoffs, pay cuts, longer hours, companies trying to cut back, just like today. People were fed up with all the crap, so the UAW was born. Your comment is a slap in the face to every autoworker who suffered through those times, and the reason you wont find it in a textbook, is because its not true.
@bipappag @bipappag none of what you wrote has anything to do with what I said, I could just list some facts and dates and imply that they caused each other.
Are you suggesting that the lack of unions in the auto business caused the Great Depression? There’s a lot of theories about the cause of the Great Depression but the lack of unions is not one that I’ve heard of. (and if so, please explain how the current crisis arose despite the presence of unions.)
@dpiddy022 You are aware that the UAW was founded in 1935? Maybe youve also heard of something called the great depression that started in 1929. People were sick of being used as slaves. I think you need to educate yourself a litle more before spewing your bullsh*t.
Now Ford is moving everything to Mexico where I read they make $4.39 cents a day if that article was accurate about the wage,, all because of NAFTA that both parties supported against hard working Americans giving our jobs top Mexico and China and where ever else Government see’s fit to send them off too.. So make sure who you vote into office your very livelihood depends on it
@CurtHowland
I know it was sarcasm. Just wanted to add to it.
I love that I can actually see through the engine bay to the ground in my mustang. I cant even see the engine block on my Pt Cruiser.
Car makers screwed cars when they added all the sensors and computer.
@hackmattr My ’76 Pinto wagon had better bumpers than any car I’ve had since.

I miss STEEL.

I forgot to put the sarcasm tags on the earlier post, I hope it came through clearly. I also long for a car I can fix and tune myself.
@CurtHowland
My 64 1/2 Mustang doesn’t have any of those things. Back when cars were made from real metal and not the plastic found on many vehicles these days.
It appears that the 15 millionth Model T was driven off of the line by Edsel Ford, Henry’s son. Henry was the older man, who was closer to the camera, and slamed the passenger door (as stated in the video.) Great Video!
I remember my Mom telling me that she learned how to drive in a Model T. The kicker: She learned to drive at the age of 8, and used the old T-bucket to pull the plow in her grandpa’s fields. By that time, the model T had already been out of production for several years
No, but most of it was hand assembled, using jigs and tools to assist that.
Producing shaped body panels, for instance, *at the required rate*, would take the population of China, without presses, tools, &c.
The guys finishing the wooden spokes are just cleaning the burrs off the assembly, prior to paiting. A machine tool (spindle moulder) has made the spokes.
Production on this scale precludes ‘hand work’.
BIG difference between ‘hand work’, and ‘hand assembled’.

the quote “you can have any colour as long as it is black”, is nonsense.
The first model Ts came in red and grey.
This Car was Made in 1990
Ford Model T Gives the Old Memories
Interesting well put together video. “I believe ‘Buy American’ will come back once more.

I really want to have and restore a Model T or A.
there is still a model t that goes to the fraserburgh car show every year and its in mint condition . beautiful car
0:21 pft whats he talking about? he’s supposed to say the Batmobile!! lol
Bad ass
It was produced from 1908-1927, not from ’09 to ’28. Top speed was more like 35 MPH, not 45.
If a model T would go 70 I would have one. New cars are COMPLETE trash.

Heil hitler!
Wow–awesome presentation
Great video and super narration. Thanks!
Henry Ford a great Man !!
