  The Model T transmission is essentially a manually operated automatic transmission.

  The biggest factor for the Model T in 1923 was the cost. Brand new a T could be bought for $280, roughly $4,500 for today. Making it cheaper than the 1920s tractor options. It mobilized all but the poorest communities in the states and lead to our complete and total production dominance that led the population and wealth explosions of the 30s-40s-50s.

  The Model T finished the 1/4 mile one hundred years ago, giving it a time credit that only a DeLorean could catch. I still love your work

  the differential mechanism is a stroke of engineering genius. the fact that it basically hasn&apos;t changed at all is so insane

  The price point of both vehicles would have been interesting, I believe the model T was the only vehicle that got cheaper as it went along.

  I was at a friend&apos;s house around a holiday. A guy pulled up to his neighbors&apos;s house in a model T. I asked him if I could ask some questions. His response was great. &quot;I never take it out when I am in a hurry, it&apos;s not fast and people always ask about it&quot; He then talked about it for almost an hour, gave a few rides.
