I remember driving my dads Ford Model T Runabout for the first time in the early sixties.
If I remember correctly:
Handbreak loose
Left Pedal down (with force!): first gear
Adjust gas lever on steering wheel to get more torque
Left Pedal half up (pull it with tip of shoe): neutral (gas down again)
Left Pedal all up: second gear. (gas up)
Crank starting that thing was fun too. Broke my arm once.
