A Book about the history of the Ford Model T from one of the most enthusiastic authors of the twentieth century, Floyd Clymer
From the dust jacket: Henry's Wonderful Model T is a fond album of memories of the car that put America on wheels — a colorful record of its life and times in more than 500 photographs, diagrams, advertisements, jokes, cartoons, and 20,000 words of informative text. It will bring back the wonderful past to thousands former T owners who, once upon a time, thawed out their engines with boiling water in sub-zero weather, backed up steep hills in the T's powerful reverse, removed the front seat to fill the gas tank, crawled under the car to test the oil supply, and spun the crank and leaped for the driver's seat before the jalopy took off - driverless.
Floyd Clymer, in his inimitable manner, makes the T live again. For the connoisseur there are statistics and diagrams, for the sentimentalist colorful anecdotes. The middle-aged will weep with nosttalgia, the young will be educated and amused. Henry's Wonderful Model T is lively with humor and solid with information — a fitting tribute to America's all-time favorite car.
