Posted By: RockyRaab Model T Coast to Coast - 07/01/22
Out doing errands today and passed a string (six or seven) Model T Fords about to get onto I-80. On each door was a decal that said "Model T Coast to Coast" so I presume that's what they're trying to do.

Can you imagine being in such a caravan? Across the US at 30 mph in a Model T? I wonder how they manage things like tires and parts?

Could find nothing on the interweb about them except for a book about a guy who did it some time ago. He did it in one vehicle, but this was a string of them.

If they can only do 30mph they need to get the fugg off I-80. Lol.

I enjoy seeing the old cars. It's a labor of love for those that partake in restorations.

No kidding! A semi going past at 75 could literally blow them off the road.

Across town is to far in one of those clunkers, much less across the country.

If they have better radiators, rajo heads, auxiliary transmission they can do 60+. Jay Leno has a youtube on one.
Last cross country i read about he was given a rebuult engine half way.

I was just guessing about their speed. When I passed them they had just left a traffic light and were still accelerating, but I had to brake and change lanes to get around them. I'm thinking that maybe they spent the night in Ogden before getting back onto I-84 and then I-80. They all looked to be in fabulous condition and no two were alike as far as I could see given my short look.

They can do 60 easy
