• schmiddles posted 1 year ago rate it: good poor It was 100 years ago--on October 1, 1908, to be exact--that Ford Motor built the very first of the iconic gasoline-powered automobiles to be sold. Early adopters of the Model T got a simple, durable, low-cost machine. Like owners of other cars from the early 20th century, they also got a bit of exercise with the hand-cranking required to start the engine. (And they sometimes got an arm injury if the car backfired, throwing the crank back in the opposite direction.) The Model T got updated to an electric starter in 1919. +2 reply
