I feel sorry for the poor ole tires! Try that with your modern car.

Re: model T - mountain goat edition
Fantastic! That would be a 1909 or 1910 Model T. I have driven over a bit of that sort of terrain in a stripped-down T. With some practice it is amazing where they will go. I suspect rope was wound around the tires rather than chain. The rocks would cut short the life of either. T's will high center when the axle finds the snow. The rope will allow a few inches of deeper stuff.
Thanks so much for posting that. It certainly made my day. |

Re: model T - mountain goat edition
Fun video, thank you!
Actually, its an early 1911, with the earlier 'butterfly' rear fender brackets, 1911 high filler neck on a non-winged radiator, and 1911 introduced front axle with the separate bolted on spindle arms rather than the single piece spindle of the earlier cars. Lots of changes in the 1909 to 1912 cars... Best regards, Geary |

Re: model T - mountain goat edition
When I was in high school I had a Model A Tudor, (which I still have) I was starting to
restore it and had all the fenders and hood off of it. I went with some friends who had Jeeps and went every where they went. A couple of times it got a little stuck. It still had the bumpers on it so we grabbed the rear bumpers and counted 123 and pulled the rear end over and kept going. I also drove it on the sand at Ocean Beach in San Francisco. It didn't have and trouble going up and down the cement stairs to the beach from the Great Highway. Loads of fun. Thanks for the video |
