Model T - 100 Years Old
Michigan - The announcement came last week that the infamous Model T is now 100 years old.
September 1908 - Setpember 2008.
September 1908 - Setpember 2008.
Some of Main Line Elder Associates’ clients remember when the “horseless buggy was first made available and some traveled in the back seat while their parents proudly displayed the first motor vehicle to the town’s people.
The late Sue Mansor, born 1913 recalled, ‘My father would crank it over and over again before it finally would start but we didn’t care because it was a lot of fun.”
In the South people today are waiting in lines for hours to buy gas and probably not thinking it’s a lot of fun but hopefully 100 years from now - it will all be forgotten and the “gas free” automobile will be the rave.
Do you know the manufacturer of the Model T?
