Mechanics at a Ford dealership couldn’t believe their eyes when a 109-year-old car arrived for a service.

The Ford Model T vehicle was first released back in 1908 and is known as being the first affordable automobile that made car travel accessible for middle-class America.

Two YouTubers took their own model of the iconic car for a spin but when they encountered problems, they decided to get them checked out.

Known online as TFLclassics, the duo uploaded a video to their YouTube channel where they documented their experience taking the century-old vehicle to a mechanic.

Noticing that the Ford needed an oil change, the pair took the car to an expert.

Once there the mechanic, Ray, revealed that the oldest vehicle he’d ever worked on was from the early 1960s.

With the YouTubers’ help, Ray got the car started by turning the archaic handle at the front of the motor.

After changing the oil, the mechanic inspected the vehicle and gave his expertise on it.

He said: “The biggest thing is we want to be sure our car is safe when it leaves so you'd probably fail those front tires.

“Would I send my wife out in it? If I won't send my wife out in it, I will warn the customer that there's a potential problem.”

When asked if he would send his wife out in the Ford Model T, Ray replied: “Well around the block, yes, on the highway, no.”

After fixing up the car, the YouTubers let Ray take it out for a spin.

“It’s definitely unique, first time driving one,” the mechanic said from behind the steering wheel.

Viewers flocked to the YouTube comment section to share their reactions to the clip.

One user wrote: “The mechanic's smile when he had a chance to turn the handle and start the car was awesome. You could see it made his day.”

Another said: “That Ford mechanic is so wholesome he seems so excited to be driving it. That's the best part of the video to me. Big ups to Ray.”

A third person commented: “To see a working, fully functional model T in this day and age that isn't in a museum and still driven is amazing.”

And a fourth user added: “109 years ago, model T surprised everyone when it shows up in the country. Nowadays, the model T still surprises everyone driving around the country.”
