Daniel Bratcher of Timeless Ts during a Ford Model T Tour

WELCOME TO THE FORD MODEL T

This set of pages was created by Timeless Ts, a small, independent, Ford Model T repair shop in San Antonio to help people with basic questions about these iconic vehicles.  Over 15 million were made between 1908 and 1927.  Even if only 2% survive, that’s still 300,000, spread out all around the world.  We hope the basic information provided here will be a good starting point for new owners, those considering a purchase, and anyone simply wanting to learn more about the vehicle that put the world on wheels.  While there are plenty of resources on the web to guide you through repairs, especially on YouTube, we noticed that a basic introduction to the T and its various systems was missing. This is our attempt to fill the gap.
