Back in the 1950’s I bought a dilapidated 1926 roadster from a farmer near Cleveland, Texas. The car had a starter, but it didn’t work, and he showed me how to start it by setting the crank at 3 o’clock and pushing down hard with my right foot. He also gave me verbal instructions on how to drive it. I drove it to Houston, over 50 miles, without any problems. I would rather try to teach a person who had never driven a car how to drive a T rather than an A.
