1911 Ford Model T
Admittedly, this was definitely one of the highlights of the day - not only for my son, but for myself too! A real life "Tin Lizzie" - from one of my son’s favourite books 😉 And just look at the condition it is in - looks brand spanking new!! 😳😁
Model T re-styled for 1911. All lamps made from brass.
Steel body panels over a wood frame.
Multiple-disc clutch. Torque tube drive to rear axle.
Standard colour was dark blue.
South African right-hand drive models built in Canada.

Nice car.Your post is always great.You are a happy person Ensure your talents, solve your tasks.You know about the times when you are not indifferent.Go ahead friend Let your life be sweet.
The model T transmission is a 2 speed planetary operated by foot pedals. The transmission has 3 drums and 3 bands. One for reverse, 1 for low, and the trans. brake. When you press either the clutch or reverse pedal a band clamps around it's drum which causes it to stop turning and forces the brake drum to rotate instead and the car takes off. The pedals must be depressed firmly to fully stop the low or reverse drum, or the band linings will quickly wear out and damage to the drums can happen.
