Pretty cool! Technic tends to focus on modern cars and even Icons usually tends to focus on cars from at least the 1950s onward, so an early automobile like this makes for a really interesting and unique model.

I have but one question and one simple request:

Does the crank start break / rip your arm off if you aren't quick enough to let go when the engine finally turns over like on a real Model T? 

Here's the request: I NEED a Speed Champions Model T / Model A (or maybe truck versions of both too?) My deceased grandfather (born 1918, died about 15 years back) learned to drive on a Model TT (Model T as a truck) at a very young age after buying his license at the general store. (He never took a driving test in his life AFAIK, and drove up until the late 1990s!) so it would be cool to see a Model TT truck in LEGO - preferably in 6 wide. (I'd also take a Model A, as I got to ride the rumble seat of one of those to visit him once before he died.)
