The International Jew, authored by Henry Ford, is blatant anti-Semitism. It portrays Jews as monolithic, malicious schemers plotting to control the planet. "If there is one quality that attracts Jews, it is power," the book states. "Wherever the seat of power may be, thither they swarm obsequious." It does not portray Jews as individuals but as a single-minded, calculating cabal. Conflict among Jews, no matter how real, is painted as a sly trick, part of the Jewish plot. The book blames nearly all the troubles it saw in American society of the time on Jews. "Whichever way you turn to trace the harmful streams of influence that flow through society, you come upon a group of Jews," it claims. Even problems with the "national pastime" are attributed to Jewish influence: "If ... fans ... wish to know the trouble with American baseball, they have it in three words ... too much Jew."
I own a 1923 Model T. Great times on wooden spoked wheels. I would post a picture of it if I were only smart enough to do so.
Another reason for backing up hills is that the model T didn't have a fuel pump so being a gravity fed fuel system when backing the fuel tank was elevated higher up than the carburetor. The Model T didn't have a water pump, fuel pump, nor oil pump from the factory. It used the thermosiphon method for cooling, gravity for fuel pressure, and splash system for oiling.
Years ago, I knew a man that had a model T and would drive it in parades and such. I got to drive it a few times around town. Always a hoot! The man has passed on, I wonder what happened to the car?

The Montana 500 Model T endurance race will be the week of June 16th this year with Columbus, Mt as the host city. I believe on odd years the race is held east of the Continental Divide and on even years it's held west of the divide.
There's a You Tube video; "How to start and drive a Model T Ford" that's pretty interesting. Brings back memories of hearing that stuff as a kid in the 1950's from grandparents and others of the era who were operating cars beginning around the teens / WW1 time frame. My maternal grandfather had a fantastic memory and could recount how to do that stuff right up to the 1980's when he passed. One of his brothers ( my great-uncle) once went from San-Diego to St. Louis in the '20's with a guy in a Model T. They made a stop in Oklahoma to repair some motor issue. He also had stories of sitting at a bar until closing and then going to stay at a friends camp up in the hills in the Finger Lakes region of NY state. To get up to the camp required the driving uphill in reverse stuff previously mentioned in this thread. Except they were backing up a narrow graveled road in thick woods late at night with no street lights and no back up lights on the car. I guess after a few hours at the bar that could get real interesting.
The Tri Motor was one of the classiest machines Ford ever built. Those 3 big radial engines stuck on the front are badazz.
It must have seemed like a magical thing to have the infrastructure to manufacture big flying machines back in that time period.
About a month ago there was a Ford Tri Motor flying around the Tucson area for a couple of days. You could always tell when it was up as the motors had a very distinctive sound. Sure wish I could have snagged a ride in that bird. Paul B.
