Taking a 100-Year-Old Model T to a Ford Dealer for Service

What a great channel. You guys are making great content. Meeting nice people too

I restored a 1975 Toyota Celica. Just for giggles, I took it to my local Toyota dealership for a service. I looked over to the service bay to see my car up in the air and NINE service techs under the car looking at it. Seven of which were not alive when the car was built.

That guy ray was my mentor. He’s one of the most humble coolest dudes ever. My family eats everyday because what this man taught me.

When driving a car like this, you dont just say "What a great day", you use words like splendid and marvellous, terrific...

One does not simply pass a model T. You stay back and revel in its presence. Ya’ll made Ray’s day, he will never forget that

To see working, fully functional model-T in this day and age that isn't in a museum and still driven is amazing.

Seems like an average stealership visit. Barely did any work, didn't do it properly, had someone work on it that didn't know what they were doing and charged you an arm and a leg for the privilege.

Kind of sureal seeing a 100 yr old Ford next to a 2024 Ford lol

"if i wouldnt send my wife out in it i would warn my customer." now thats a real mechanic right there... im glad he got the opportunity to drive one of these true classics.

Last April Fools I drove my WWII Jeep to the nearest Jeep dealership and asked for a renewal of my warranty. The guy workin' there was surprised, and then said "I think your warranty expired in 1946."

Customer : I am afraid the starter is a bit tired. Ford technician: I'll bring him some coffee.

Nobody deserves to drive that car more than Ray, that was awesome.

You know Ray had a story to tell his friends, family and wife when he got home after that shift. I serviced a 100+ year old car!

My late father would have been 101 this year. He could have told you what and how to fix anything on that car. He would have watched your channel with a big smile and shared stories.

Personally, I would have showed up at the dealer unannounced and acted like getting my Model T serviced was something that was perfectly routine. It would have been even more hilarious if they got to the dealership only to find out there were 3 other Model T cars ahead of them waiting to be serviced.

As a car guy watching the model t near the end drive by all those different years of fords was like seeing the whole family tree in one place pretty much. Such a beautiful moment captured

The number of these classic old bone-rattlers around me is astounding! Around twenty years ago I happened by an ice cream stand in a sleepy little town in south-east Michigan and saw eight Model-Ts from around 1908 to 1922 sitting in the parking lot. It wasn't a antique car show, it just so happened a couple of drivers stopped in for ice cream at the same time and before anyone knew it, they attracted more Model Ts! I don't know if they started to make it a regular event, but they should have! The oldest functional model I ever saw was a 1905 Ford Model C! The owner had to make an emergency stop in our apartment parking lot to swap out a battery.

Really enjoying this Model T stuff. I saw a sticker on the back of a T at a car show once that said, “If you don’t like the gear I’m driving in, you sure as hell won’t like the other one”.

That Ford mechanic is so wholesome he seems so excited to be driving it. Thats the best part of the video to me. Big ups to Ray.

109 years ago, model T surprised everyone when it shows up in the country. Nowadays, the model T still surprises everyone driving around the country
