Teaching my 15YO to drive my A

Good for you and great for her....She's already ahead of her generation and the generation older than her.

That's the way to do it.
When our Daughter graduated High school we did not have the Model A, but we did let her take our '57 Chevy, she was quite popular, heard she was doing burn-outs and doughnuts in the parking lot.
Yep...she takes after her Dad

I have to admit. I needed a youtube video to find out how to drive and shift a Model A properly ...

Actually the model A is great for learning how to use a manual transmission. It has so much torque and 1st gear is geared so low that clutching without bucking or stalling is easy. Also - I never use the term "double clutching" since it is misleading. Changing gears involves simply taking your time, stoping in neutral, and then moving on to the next gear. If you go easy enough then stoping in neutral is not even needed when up shifting. Down shifting involves stoping in neutral, blipping the throttle a couple of time, then move on down to second.
