JCM 11,433 #2 Posted 10 hours ago Two months ago Patti and I drove to Massachusetts to go to a celebration of life for a very good friend of mine to pay our respects at a local American Legion. When we pulled in another friend had his 1934 Model T parked outside which he drives on a regular basis which he has had for many years and is the same color as Jay Lenos. Mind you these 2 GREAT friends were both in there 80's walking cane and all. The one with the truck was very instrumental in helping me start my Plumbing & Heating business in 1986 recommending me to a lot of quality people as well .Also huge NASCAR fans and his son was set up with a local stock car and did very well on the local circuit. I have so many stories that are not appropriate for this forum, all in GOOD fun. This Gentleman had a very lucrative Excavating company that is still in operation albeit on a smaller scale. I am very proud to have such good friends in my life and we both support the Shriners as well as helping kids that need to be admitted to the local Shriners Hospital. Thanks @T-Mo for this post. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T-Mo-(Moderator) 5,000 #3 Posted 9 hours ago The Model T was replaced by the Model A in 1928, which was replaced around 1932. In 1934, Ford was making the Model B. The legendary Ford Flat Head V-8 came out in 1932. I can assumed your friend had the year wrong on his Model T, or it was a Model B if it was a 1934. If it was a V-8 Ford, then it would have been the Model 40. Ford made a few variants of both the B and 40, I believe. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people just can't help but be contentious. Instead of focusing on a long history of automobile manufacturing, he chose to express his ill-conceived opinion.
