ABOUT THE FORD MODEL T:

On August 1st, the Ford Motor Company began its fiscal year of 1916-17 with an announcement of sharp reductions in the prices of Ford cars, the following new prices being placed in effect:

Chassis, $325; Runabout, $345; Touring Car, $360; Coupelet, $505; Town Car, $595; Sedan, $645. These new prices bring the pleasure and profit of motoring within the reach of added millions.

This price announcement was followed by the introduction of new models embodying marked changes in the familiar lines of Ford design. The hood is of graceful streamline design. There are sweeping crown fenders both front and rear. The radiator is larger, and with a new enclosed fan construction has a greater cooling efficiency. The new cars are finished in black with nickel trimmings, and are equipped with non-skid tires on the rear wheels.

The Ford enclosed cars—Sedan, Coupelet, Town Car—represent the same attractive changes in design, equipment and construction that have been made in the open models. In the Sedan, we have also included several refinements in interior appointments. There is a new folded plait upholstery on both front and rear seats, while both rear side windows, as well as the window in the rear of the body, are finished with attractive black and white silk shade curtains in harmony with the color scheme of the upholstery.

It is a joy to drive the Sedan every day of the year. A year around car it is, with the most comfortable of upholstery and inviting appointments. Cool and breezy in the summer time, it fully protects the occupants from heat and sun. And for the demands of fall and winter driving, one cannot wish for a cozier, more attractive car either for social purposes or general family use. There’s generous accommodation for five persons—a broad back seat for three passengers, while both individual front seats have the hinge back, right-hand seat folding out of the way when not in use. Wide doors giving access from either side. Double water-tight windshield, and big plate glass windows are regular features which you will appreciate in an enclosed car.

The Sedan has the low cost of operation and upkeep that is a feature of all Ford cars, and with its simplicity and easy facility of operation, is an ideal car for a woman to drive. Nothing to puzzle or confuse but, instead, a simple distinctive Ford control that anyone can quickly understand. It is comfort, service, beauty, builded (sic) upon Ford quality.

Model T Fords of the “brass era” are probably the most desirable types to the average enthusiast. Certainly they are the most ornate and spectacular in appearance. Yet the Model T that comes to mind at the mention of the subject is the all-black Ford of the 1917 to 1925 era. More were built during this period than at any other time; about two-thirds of the total Model T production!

The 1917 to 1920 models might be considered the “elite” of the black Fords; not because they were the earliest, but because they represent the period of the greatest changes. Changes not only in the car, but in the Ford Motor Company itself.

OWN THIS VINTAGE FORD MODEL T AT A FRACTION OF THE BUILD COST. THE COST OF PARTS AND RESTORATION OF THESE VEHICLES ARE INCREASING DAILY. THEY ARE NOT MAKING ANY MORE AND, THEREFORE, THEY ARE BECOMING MORE RARE BY THE DAY. BUY ONE DONE AND ENSURE YOUR INVESTMENT FOR THE FUTURE. DOING A RESTORATION / CUSTOMIZATION PROJECT ON A MODEL T LIKE THIS WOULD COST OVER $30, 00 NOT INCLUDING THE VEHICLE ITSELF. DON'T DO THE WORK YOURSELF, GET ONE FINISHED FOR HALF OF THE COST OF BUILDING IT YOURSELF.

AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT AND SOMETHING YOU CAN ENJOY DAILY. COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE VEHICLES HAVE HISTORICALLY APPRECIATED AT A RATE GREATER THAN THE STOCK MARKET, GOLD AND OTHER ARTS & COLLECTIBLES AS DOCUMENTED BY MANY ARTICLES AND AUCTION RESULT TRACKING.

ALTHOUGH NOT A "NO RESERVE" AUCTION, THE RESERVE PRICE OF THIS VEHICLE IS WELL BELOW COMPARABLE VEHICLES IN THE MARKET. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME.
