Jul 27, 2009 - Bring It Back?

Read an interesting piece in today's NY Daily News about a guy who uses his Model T as his every day driver.

He says he's getting 40 MPG and thinks Ford should put the Model T back in production.

"Everyone is scratching their heads, looking for an environmentally friendly means of transportation when the answer has been sitting right under our noses for over a century," he said. "They need to get this car back into production as soon as possible," he said. "If everyone drove the Model T, we would instantly decrease this country's oil demand by 50%."

OK, so that sounds screwy, but it does make you wonder. We all have had our favorite cars from our past that we'd love to have a chance to own new again. The big question is what would they do to the Model T to screw it up and make it "better", whether because of simple meddling or because of regulations.

Or could someone pull off new production retro cars?
