Photo provided by Lisa and Geoff Watz Ford Model T is an experience to drive, fill up Lisa and Geoff Watz have won a few ribbons with their Model T. My husband Geoff and I are the owners of this beautiful 1916 Ford Model T. We reside here in St. Clair Shores, and you can see us driving all around town. Driving this car is an experience. First of all, it’s not easy to drive, or start for that matter. It uses an original crank start. The accelerator is on the steering wheel and there are three pedals on the floor. It does take regular unleaded gasoline.
