The video is part of his Carography series on YouTube:
Joey Logano is best known for driving Team Penske Ford’s number 22 Ford Mustang GT stock car. However, the 30-year-old NASCAR driver’s private car collection, which he has been showing in his YouTube video series “Carography,” is quite diverse. Logano’s favorite car to drive is a 1924 Ford Model T, which is about as distant from a NASCAR stocker as you can get. However, because the process is uncommon, Logano demonstrates how it’s done in his latest video.
The T has a four-cylinder engine with 20 horsepower and a two-speed manual transmission, but the driving technique is “backwards of what you normally do in your car,” which makes it tough and entertaining for this modern-day racer. That begins with the way it begins. Or, first, by removing the front seat cushion, opening the cap on the gas tank beneath it, and peeping inside. Convenient. To turn on the coil, then the magneto, turn the key one way, then the other. After you’ve given it some throttle and set the handbrake, it’s time to crank it up. She starts as soon as you pull up. Eventually.
Once you’re up and running, you’ll see that instead of an accelerator pedal, you’ll have a throttle lever on the steering column; yeah, and on the other side, there’s a lever to adjust the timing, which the driver must also do. Anyone used to a modern car will notice that the brake is on the right, the reverse pedal is in the center, and the clutch is on the left. “That’s what makes it so much fun to drive this thing. It’s not natural to what you typically do.”
Although the Model T is interesting, some of Logano’s other automobiles are even more so. The ’61 Ford Econoline pickup that Logano converted into a camper and shown in Episode 1 is one of our favorites. In addition, the ’56 Ford car from Episode 6 is quite cool. They’re also likely to be easier to drive.
