100 Years Old
| Our Model T Ford is 100 years old. On Januarey 24th, 1916 our car rolled out of the Highland Park Assembly Plant in Detroit. What better way to celebrate than take the Old T for a drive in the country. So, on the afternoon of Sunday January 24th 2016, with a Canadian winter temperature around -5C (23F), we took family and friends for a short ride of about 6 1/2 km (about 4 mi). |
| I sent the following
email to a few people after our historic ride.
Our old
Model T was built on January 24, 1916.
I received some very nice replies. |

Nice research on the
exact day and you are lucky to have had decent weather and not tons of
snow to take her for a ride.
Looks good Steve. Fantastic. What a great memory to have. What a great way to celebrate the 100th anniversary
of your car's construction.
Good for you Steve! Glad to see the family enjoying the car! Happy Birthday Lizzie! What a great ride! Happy Birthday Car.
Great pictures! What a way to mark a century! Not many people can do anything close to this - glad to see you had fun celebrating your ’T’s 100th birthday. That was cool to see that old Car still driving after a hundred years. Wow!!!!!!!!!!! The old girl looks awesome! Happy Birthday you old Ford LOLO |
Over the years, a great deal of music and jokes have been written about Henry and his Model T
