I couldn't find any YouTube footage, sadly. Henry Ford kept costs down any way he could, and one of those ways was not to install a door for the driver! One of the control levers sits to the left of the driver anyway, so it would be difficult to climb past it. So you just pivot out over the doorframe, or make your passenger let you out.

It's a 1915 Model T touring car, with front and back seats, three doors, a collapsible roof and a windshield. No window glass.

In my mind the roof was up, but there's no reason why it can't be down instead...until it rains. Which is the bit I was just about to start writing!

Oh, did you see my last entry? No, wait, it was the one before that (although the last one is well worth a peek!); it has another 1922 snippet to whet your thirst. :-)
