Grandchildren and Model T's
This girl is 6 months and she went through the Lang's catalog with me. I wish I had a video, she went on flipping pages for ten minutes. We couldn't decide on which set of speedster lights to get and it is nap time, so we will peruse it more later.
Technology, the solution to all of our problems... and the cause of most of them.

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
Somehow the youngsters and the old cars each make the other more enjoyable. It's nice you can share the magic with her and us too.

Be careful !

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
What great photos. If they don't make you smile, nothing will.
Part of the reason I've chosen a Model T Touring to join my old car collection is to have something akin to a glorified golf cart to putt around the neighborhood with grandkids. I don't have any yet, but my oldest offspring is soon to be married and has expressed her desire to have kids. My second oldest is not far behind.

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
Much to my sorrow I don't have a picture, but I can tell you not all children love the family Model T. When I was 3 (1950) sometimes after dinner the whole family would pile onto the TT and go out to the back of the orchard for fresh peaches. Not me. I'd run behind it yelling, "I'm not riding in that old junk!!"

Some of the young cousins like the old cars too.

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
The two little heads in the photo is my grand daughters riding down the road with pawpaw. They love it. They want to take a ride everytime they stop in. Who am I to say no?

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
Excuse me for turning the camera around, this photo shows my grandmother standing in the front of the family Ford that my great-grandfather is driving. I am the (60 yr old) grandchild, this photo inspired me to buy my own 1914 Touring car. Hopefully some of the grandchildren pictured above will have the interest and resources to keep the hobby alive 100 years from now.

Re: Grandchildren and Model T's
Summer of '17. Ava (oldest of the 7 Grands) and I took off with the 24 down to the bottom of the hill.
She sure got the pedals figured out and I tested her the whole time hard. I had the throttle. She had to reverse and steer at the bottom, UP the hill backwards to head back out where we stopped for the pic. Must've done this 10 times!
She was 8 and is going to love the light steering on the 18! This 24 is very heavy to steer and good for teaching.
I had forgotten this! She crank started it before we headed down.
