What happens here
The owner presents his first antique car, a 1925 Model T Ford 4-door Sedan, which he acquired at 18 years old in pieces. He describes his amateur restoration efforts, stating it didn't turn out 'too god awful bad'. He opens the rear door to reveal the interior with original 'mohair' seats. He points out the small 4-cylinder engine and the unique lubrication system where felt pads under the valve cover dribble oil onto the rocker arms every 200 miles. He also mentions the original wooden frame structure of the car, which led to many Chevrolets rusting away over time.
Goal: Showcase a very old sedan and its mechanical and structural peculiarities
