TTHE OLDER THE CAR, the more
exotic the driving experience. The Model
T has three pedals on the floor, but none
of them make it go faster.
“You’ve got your brake, a reverse pedal
and a clutch,” Benton says. “It’s not a stick
shift, and it’s not an automatic. It has a
high and low transmission. You push the
clutch down and it goes forward like a
lawnmower, basically. You go halfway on
the clutch on the way out and it’s neutral.
All the way off is high range, and you’re
cruising about 40 mph. Just give it fuel.
It’s like cruise control.”
There are two levers on the steering
column. One is a hand throttle, the other
controls the spark.
“They are just unique,” Benton says.
“There’s no texting and driving in these cars.
You are literally using all four of your limbs.”
