1911 Ford Model T
The General T
A brass-era survivor — still driven like it’s meant to be.
The Car
One hundred and ten years old, and it still goes.
The General T is a 1911 Ford Model T — one of the cars that first put America on wheels. More than a century later it isn’t a static museum piece behind a rope. It gets driven: out across the high meadows and reservoir roads of the Sierra, hand-cranked and running.
This is the car, in photographs and footage. The way it looks in the light, and the way it moves.
