It might have been the simplest car ever built, and certainly one of the most complicated... and it changed the world in ways that nobody could have thought of in 1908 when it was introduced.
Mechanically, it was as simple as a car could be... in fact, doors weren't available on the open bodied cars until 1911... Most of them were black... because the builder wanted them that way and the first cars had headlamps that had to be lit with a match...
Of course that would be the Model T.
For modern drivers, the Model T driving experience would be alien. Pedals and shifters had completely different functions than later cars.

I'd love to hear from you...
Are you and I the only car afficionados here at ActiveRain? If I were in any way mechanically inclined, I'd have a few classics sitting around my property to take out occasionally for a Sunday drive, perhaps even to a home inspection. That would get some looks.
Russel - I'm starting to wonder... There used to be a few of us, and two active groups. Now it seems like I am the only one posting to them... Get some car content so that I'm not alone...
