Happy Birthday, Model T

The Model T Ford turns one hundred years old this week, which makes it only slightly older than my banger.

Once so successful a seller that at one time over half the cars in the world a were Model Ts, I thought I knew quite a bit about them until I saw this Top Gear segment that showed off the T's nightmarish controls.



Makes the push-button gearbox on a 1956 Dodge seem tame by comparison.
