On this episode of Life Unscripted with Kevin Shook, we step back in time and climb aboard a 1924 Model T "Depot Hack" for a memorable ride through Richmond, Indiana during the annual Model T Homecoming Celebration at the Model T Museum. Our guide for the journey is Ron Hughes, a devoted Model T enthusiast who proudly owns two of these century-old automotive treasures. What began as casual curiosity while volunteering at the museum has since turned into a lifelong passion.
The conversation hums along as smoothly as the vintage engine beneath us. Ron shares fascinating insights into the simplicity and genius behind the Model T—built with just a single fan belt and generator—and how its design still inspires awe today. These machines were made to last, and Ron is living proof: he even bought a larger touring model so his grandchildren could enjoy the ride right beside him.
Richmond is home to the nation’s only museum solely dedicated to the Model T, supported by a passionate team of volunteers who keep these icons of American innovation alive and running. The museum also embraces innovation, recently launching a virtual tour that features “Henry,” an AI-powered chatbot that answers visitor questions along the way.
We arrive at the museum just in time to experience the energy of the Homecoming Celebration—complete with swap meets, driving schools, and crowds of enthusiasts keeping these incredible vehicles on the road. When modern tech breaks down, these 100-year-old machines keep rolling, thanks to the vision of Henry Ford and the people like Ron who preserve it.
