Ford Model T Review

Some people say cheap. Some people say adorable. I personally think it is the greatest mass produced car ever. Apart from a lot of other cars, but the best from the 40’s! The comfortable leather seats and the chuffing sound of the four cylinder engine beating its heart out  just to achieve its top speed of 40 mph. It’s a pleasurable place to be. It reminds me of Winston Churchill, a hard worker but a soft character, back when he used to be behind the power of all Britain and its empire. Though however, the Ford Model T is a Ford, which clearly proves that it is American, which entirely ruins my point.

Performance-wise, it wasn’t exactly a supercar. With 2 gears, each with set speeds of 10 and 40 mph, it was a bit of a loose cannon. Possibly one of the most dangerous mass produced cars ever designed. But luckily in those days, with less cars on the road it would be a little less a liability. Possibly one of its highest flaws, was the wrist start. Most people in their lifetime with a motor car, broke their wrists, almost on a regular basis.

Despite its downs, its a marvellous little automobile.

Score – 9/10
