Ford keeps a small fleet of Model T’s running in Dearborn for visitors to ride. Last time I was there I think it was $5 for a ~10-minute ride. Each Model T is driven thousands of miles over the course of 350+ days per year.

If a dealership needs to know how to do maintenance or get a part, they just need to call Ford HQ. The person I talked to said that they actually run better now than they did back then because all the maintenance items are made from modern materials.

Greenfield Village in Dearborn MI is where you want to go.

Plan for two days so that you can also visit Henry Ford Museum -- the better of the two attractions IMHO.
