You will quickly learn everything you need to know about your car.

This is something you won’t see every single day. Have you ever seen a silent black-and-white movie?

You can see that the time is now by clicking play on this video. Although this YouTube video from AutoVantage was not filmed in 1914 it still has all the necessary pieces to be a genuine silent film of the old-school era. It was very popular during the reign of the Model T. This 13-minute silent video focuses on the ModelT.

This video explains the basics of the Model T. It was built by Ford between 1908 and 1927. It is undoubtedly the most important vehicle of the 20th Century, as it literally drove the globe. More than 15 million vehicles were built in various factories across the globe. They served every market and revolutionized the manufacturing process. Henry Ford’s assembly line helped reduce production costs to the point that a new Model T sold for $250. It was true that it was early 1900s, but inflation aside, the Model T would still cost only $3,400 today. Modern cars come with option packages which are almost as expensive.

Modern vehicles are more complex than the Model T. They don’t have electric lights and manual starters. Although roofs and doors were not always included in the package, they were very rugged and had transverse leaf spring suspension. The Model T’s top speed was close to 50 mph thanks to its 2.9-liter four-cylinder engine. However, customized speedsters such as the one shown in the video might go faster due to weight reduction. Contrary to Ford’s famous quote about getting only one Model T in black, it is possible to get one in other colors. In the early years, anyway.

This video is funny, creative, and a great way of revisiting the Model T in a way you have never seen before. This video is a silent review of brand-new cars. Exaggerated expressions, and some background music will tell you everything you need to know. It could be a thing.
