Update 10 Aug 2012:
My Model T has been fully restored, and I've just purchased a pair of carriage lights which the car was missing. Updated video to come.
Update:
"I MADE A MISTAKE!"
55psi only applies to clincher tyres on earlier Model T's. Since mine is a 1925 model and has split rims and balloon tyres, the correct tyre pressure is 35psi.

I imported my 1925 Ford Model T from the USA, not far from Detroit, Michigan where it was built.
In this video I demonstrate the T's unusual controls and how they all work, I show you how to start a Model T, and I take you on a short drive at the end.
The Model T was manufactured between 1908 and 1927, and was know by various names including Tin Lizzie, Flivver, T‑Model Ford, or just 'T'.
The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile became popular. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.
On May 26, 1927, Henry Ford watched the 15 millionth Model T Ford roll off the assembly line at his factory in Highland Park, Michigan.
1914 Ford Model T
This cool car has been in the family for some 50 years, The story is my Grandpa pulled it out of a chicken coop where it sat for some time in the 50's. He went through it and restored it. ( the horn is Not original )
1917X
1917 Model T driving around in several feet of snow. This Model T has an accessory Livingood four-wheel-drive attachment, otherwise it is stock. It is dressed up to look like a WWI vehicle. Jesse Livingood is sometimes credited with inventing 4WD. His first patent was issued in 1912. He started selling conversion units in 1914. There is no evidence that the US government used 4WD T's in WWI, that I can find.
Henry Ford, Model T, and the Assembly Line
Here is my 8th grade project on Henry Ford and the Model T, and the Assembly Line. Spent a good three months on it, plus 1.5 for the essay.
First Start for 1923 Model T barn car
This '23 Model T had not been run in decades. Pulled the engine and gave it a full rebuild, then re- installed and overhauled the chassis with mostly used Model T parts. The car will be kept in the original rusty condition, as pulled from the barn......but she runs now!
Last licensed in 1948, Ford Model T's like this were popular with farmers. This was originally a touring car, but the back seat part of the body and the convertible top was tossed, and a homemade wooden bed put on to carry produce to market.

1924 Ford Model T Coupe 2nd Engine Start after Rebuild
Blew a rod bearing after the Woodward Cruise. Pulled the engine and transmission and totally rebuilt the engine and transmission. Installed it and started it and there was a major engine oil leak. Forgot to insert a bolt in one spot where the Magneto had been removed. Had to remove the transmission cover, insert a new bolt with sealer and reinstall the transmission cover. No easy task. This is the 2nd engine start on December 31, 2008 after it was all back together. This time it was successful!
