Would You Drive These Disasters? The 45 Worst Cars of All Time
Ford Model T: Changing History, Confusing Drivers
The 1908 Ford “Model T” wasn’t just a car—it was the car that put America on wheels. But while it was a game-changer, it was also kind of a nightmare to drive. Instead of a standard gas-brake-clutch setup, it had a bizarre three-pedal system where the left pedal changed gears, the middle pedal was reversed, and the right pedal was the brake. Confused yet? So were drivers.
The 20-horsepower engine topped out at 45 miles per hour, which was fine—except the brakes weren’t exactly confidence-inspiring. The wooden wheels and stiff suspension made every bump feel like an off-road adventure, even on paved streets.
