There is a 1958 Ford official picture, in Ebay, showing a 1958 built model T... anyone knows more about it?

How about a link to the listing.

Here is the link;

Reading the press release looks like like car No.839 was driven from one end of the assembly line to the other and sat for a photo op with it's 50 year younger sibling.

Can you even fantasize today a new car loan being paid off in 26 weeks?

Is that what was meant there? It could be read that the average TOTAL earnings (over 26 weeks) would buy the car, which may be so, but that would assume the buyer had no other expenses and did not eat or clothe the kids for six months.
If so, I suspect that is similar to today where half the average salary would buy an average car.

I agree with Chris. I don't think that is the meaning. Yeah, if you paid ALL you earned in 26 weeks then it would be "paid off". Who pays 100% of their earnings on a car loan?

I believe this is the car that is on Leslie Henry's Model T Restoration Handbook.

William, you're correct. The car was restored
in Dearborn, shipped to the Mahwah, NJ plant
, disassembled and then reassembled on the assembly line as the "last Model T".(Title of the article written for Vintage Ford)
The car is a two-lever #839 and was bought new
by my grandfather, L. G. Crenshaw in Richmond, Va. The dealer was the Kirkmeyer Motor Co.
