Model T??? looks more like a 32 Ford. Interesting.

[Dan Hatch]

Why does AI keep changing the grille and the wheels?

[Daisy Mae]

Somebody doing that design has no concept of a Model T.

AI is not a thing....AI is simply another tool driven by human input.

What I find interesting though, is in our modern world of soulless bubble cars, futuristic designs such as this always seem to modernize a classic design of the past. Just goes to show style hasn't fully succumbed to its apparent death....

[Susanne]

I'm thinking a Stanley Maserati Studebakermobile. With a Fuierdi (what is that, Pujinistani?) script oval.

(Filed in the fake news AI trashbin.)

Nothing Model T about that.
The body suggests an altered 1936 Ford coupe, with fenders and the rest straight out of a high end custom shop.
It could be built out of fiberglas at great expense. It could be built out of metal at extreme expense.
If I had the money, I'd just cut to the chase and buy an Auburn.

[Norman Kling]

Remember, there was a series which started with A before the Model T. Then there were at least 3 later on with the new series starting in 1928. Models A, B, C. Then V8. So it is not inconceivable that Ford could start a new series of electric cars with the letter T.

I've never heard of the 'C'. What year was that?

[Art M]

Ford made model C pickup trucks in 1933 and 34 with a 4 cylinder engine if my childhood memory serves correctly.

[Les Schubert]

My understanding is that the “C” was also available as a 4 cylinder car with a 4 cylinder engine with a counterbalanced crankshaft in 33-34!

[Allan]

I think the C model was dubbed as such because it had a large letter C cast in the cylinder head. That head had the water pump mounted on the front face with three bolts like the V8s, but with a longer snout. On the A's ans B's the water pump was mounted on top of the head. It did have a fully counter weighted crankshaft. If anyone has a need for a C model head, I have a really nice one available, cleaned, crack tested, primed and faced ready to fit.

[Original Smith]

I wouldn't have it for a gift!

[Norman Kling]

Larry! It would be an interesting car to have.
Norm

[KimDobbins]

Larry, if they give you one, I’ll gladly take it!!

[TXGOAT2]

I'd like to have a Model B Ford, or a C, if such exist. I'd like to have a counterbalanced B motor in a Model A.

[Allan]

Pat, the counterbalanced crankshaft did not come in a B motor. It got the larger bearing journals than the A. The C model maintained these larger journals and the counterbalanced crankshaft.

BS. You couldn’t pay me to own that and it is an insult to call it a Model T. What are they thinking. It is not remotely similar to the Model T so why are they trying to compare it to one. If they want to designate a letter for it, they should call it the Model Z.

[Kevin Pharis]

The name “Model T” is nothing more than a copyrighted term anymore. No different than any of the other resurrected models of yesteryear (ie; Challenger, Charger, FJ, Hemi, Maverick, Bronco, etc…). A cheap sales ploy to lure in the ignorant by pretending to have prestige. In the same way that “steampunk” fantasizes history, we are looking at romanticized version of a thing that never was

[thom]

I would not have one. Which doesn't really matter since it will never exist except on computer screens.

[Charlie B in N.J.]

This immediately brings to mind the new Jaguar that's being advertised. Another car that will never be built.

[Moxie26]

It's nice to know that we still have people with knowledge instead of artificial intelligence

[John Codman]

My guess is that since the car is electric, the T is for Tesla, but that name is already taken. I hope that Ford had nothing to do with that video - It was
very poorly done. The audio didn't line up with the camera shots. The announcer spent time talking about the interior, but the video never showed it. I am also concerned about it's crashworthiness. I agree with those who say that it will never be built, but if Ford wants to leave it in my driveway - I'll find a space for it.

AI has no clue about how suspension works

[Steve Jelf]

Model A: 1903-1904
Model B: 1904-1905
Model C: 1903-1905
Then there were a few others, followed by
Models N, S, and T in 1908-09.

This reminds me of the "New VW Beetle" from a few years back. Not very successful as I recall.
The new model had modern convenience features, but none of the charm of the original.

Makes you wonder what Ford was thinking this time.

[TXGOAT2]

They'd have had more success to make the " New Beetle" a copy of the 70s Super Beetle on the outside, with a plushy interior, 500 watt sound system, and a good HVAC.. a water-cooled flat four would probably have been needed, and about 250 HP and 6 to 8 gears. Some way to turn the windshield into a see-through infotainment screen would also be needed.... and tires in the 36" X 18" range and an air suspension system to drop the body on the ground on demand.
