Default Grandpa Jerry's Model T

I have not posted anything on here for a long time but I had to share this. My Dad has always wanted a decent Model T and he bought one right before his 74th birthday. He has been driving it all over the place. One of his plans for the summer was teaching his grandkids from Texas how to drive one, he only sees them for about a week every couple of years. He took them out for a drive when they were home and visited a couple of local historical spots. My nephew is into filming so he made this video. I thought it was pretty neat!

Wonderful. I don't know who was having the better time, your Dad or the kids.
I am going to teach my kids to drive mine before the summer is over.

That's awesome!
I'm lucky that all three of my sons live with me and are looking forward to learning to drive the T.

That's what it's all about. Great video. My grandfather took me for rides when I was a kid and now I have 5 early fords in the garage.
