If you do want a Model T, certain modifications are almost essential, particularly floating rear hubs and auxiliary brakes.
I will never get rid of my Model T even though I rarely drive it, and when I do, only out on a sparsely traveled country road. By comparison, I refer to my Model A's as my "modern cars." A Model T owner has to be willing to tinker and tweak and not everyone is willing to do that. Far more tinkering and tweaking on a Model T than a Model A. Having said that, I sure would like an early brass T.......

And Greg just think about this, The T was the first little car, that the average person could afford, THAT WORKED. That's why they sold so many of them.
