At my first job they had a '78 Ford truck with one. I burned the tires off that thing and loved every damn minute!

Model T for the win! No gas pedal, and the brake is on the wrong side 🤣

Taught my wife to drive a T back when I was into them.

whew.

As you can see from the diagram when you push the brake it tightens the linings on a drum in the trans, same as the low pedal and reverse. In a panic stop you step on all three. Push all the way down on the left pedal for low, release and you're in high. Same pedal has to be half way down for neutral then push on the center pedal for reverse. Throttle is on the right side of the steering column and left side is spark advance. There were are no real brakes on the rear axle, just a parking brakes. Nothing on the front axle.
I think by 1925, give or take, half of the cars in America were model T's. In 1923 alone Henry (we're on a first name basis) sold over 2 million of them.

They are interesting to drive, that's for sure

my first thought. i wish they would put the damn high beam switch back on the floor.
The only problem with that is we would have to take them apart every so often to clean out any dirt and road salt debris to keep them operating.

I learned how to drive in a 1970 Bronco, 3 on the tree, transplanted 408 with a broken motor mount....every shift when the torque of the motor twisting due to the broken mount, the bronco would want to go left, so it was a hold right and shift type of deal...I swear after learning to drive that monster, i could drive almost anything...
