Comment on Why Michigan Still Uses a Ford Model T for Official Government Businessparent

Would love to know how they maintain it, eg replacement parts.

Total speculation: I'd bet some combination of collector interest keeping parts available and the relative ease of manufacture of such parts using modern techniques.

Yep. There's a viable collector/restoration market for these cars, the parts are all very simple and not particularly tolerance-critical by modern standards, and easy to recreate with all the plans available.
