Nice. I'd rock one.
I wonder how they change the tires (if they do)?

That's good question. looks like it would be quite a chore along side the road.
I quess we don't know how good we have it untill you take a look back at
how things use to be.

I'm sure they carry spares and tools, but I can imagine that it could take more or less the same time as modern cars.
I used to work at Pepboys installing tires, so I was a bit curious on how they did it on vintage cars. Found out it's pretty similar to what I used to do except we use machines to rotate the tire while using tire irons to pry them out or seat them into place. But I did find this, it shows how you can do it without tire irons. Pretty interesting.

Since we're on the subject of early automobiles, I came across some info about the first production car to have an internal combustion engine made in 1886: The Benz Patent Motorwagen came with a whopping 1-3 hp.

they do carry a spare you can see it on the back of the car but
it's just a tire no rim. I assume they change it while it's still on the
car, because the rim is just on a spindle. no lugs like now days.
at least thats what it looks like.
1-3hp "wow" nothing more than a push mower motor.
I'll check out the video later.

I didn't know the Model T was that tough and versital. I just wrote a 20 page research paper for high school graduation on the history of the Ford Motor Company, actually it was on the history of the Ford F-Series pickups, but I included in the paper the history of Henry Ford and the Company. I really could have used the info in this vid for it, but I didn't know it existed. But yeah I would buy 1 if I could 1 for cheap and didn't need work.
