1924 Ford Model T

Description

Do you just want to be in the parade or do you want to lead it with this 1924 Ford Model T Touring car? This is the vehicle that put America on wheels, so it always gets a respected place wherever it goes.

We really don't have to tell you the color on this one, because the legend is clear that you could get a Model T in any color you wanted as long as it was black. But the beauty of this car goes beyond the dark gloss of the paint. It's in the authentic details of everything from the wood spoke wheels to the finned radiator cap. Because this is the touring body, you can take friends for a ride in the country, and the soft top is in great condition to keep the noon sun off of everyone.

Basic black leatherette is what all open Model Ts received, and it's been kept to period correct standards with pleats and buttons. Door panels are perfectly simple swatches of cardboard and leatherette with small cutouts for the door handles. Floors are wood, along with much of the body's framing. The dash is a simple affair, with just controls for the ignition system and an ammeter (even a speedometer was optional!) Controls will be familiar to anyone who's driven a T, but if you've never piloted this famous Ford, don't worry because millions have mastered it before you. Working the controls is part of this car's charm, and you feel like the part of a century-old club after you quickly get the hang of it.

The Model T's powerplant was the trusty 177 cubic-inch inline-four, which was rated at about 20 horsepower. It might not seem like much, but it feels plenty powerful in a lightweight open car like this. Most of that is due to the good low-end torque and smart gearing. Once it's in high gear, this T is happy to cruise at 35 MPH without complaints. The block is finished in black with its correct updraft carburetor, that's still fed by gravity to keep things simple. In fact, that's how to view this whole car. You'll be surprised at how much you'll enjoy driving it, and how intuitive the maintenance is. We know this because the same family has kept this Model T in running order since 1953. All the original tools are included with the car as well, from the jack, to wheel/tire changing equipment.

This car is not looking for a new owner...It's looking for someone to carry on its legacy. A car this nice and complete doesnt come along often. Are you ready to be a part of history? Call now!!
