Mike,

I found this YouTube of an original N running at the Ford Barn under 1906 N, but not the YouTube video of an 09 coupe.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PI1d8MtJ90
I think Youtube may have some kind of adaptive software that suggests other videos differently depending on who looks at a video and their viewing history - I didn't get the 09 coupe video as a suggestion...?
Google works like that nowaday, I hear.. who owns youtube? - google does.

Shiny like . . . um . . . a replica. Metal, fiberglass . . . does it matter under all the 21st Century paint? Total turnoff for me. It needs to be scuffed up and run through a muddy field, then just brushed off with a horse brush and never washed again. The way it exposes itself now is what the Amish would call a pretender. Pretty like a pretty boy wearing lipstick. The Boy George of Model Ts, acceptable only at night and in certain circles. Alright, I shut up now. Very pretty car indeed. Congratulations to your fried Jack, Mike!

Is it right hand drive? It looks as if the horn is on the right hand side and the steering is also. I wonder how much is original 1909. I notice that it seems that all "restored" 1909-10s use E&J lights. I know that JB lights came in late 1909. E&J lights are reproduced, so it is handier to just buy reproductions than find and restore J Brown lights. Has any seen what is under the hood? I suspect that everything except for the basic chassis is new. I notice the radiator is not correct. It has the bar going through the lower level and has a high neck. Good looking reproduction body and fenders etc.

Darel,
On the Early Coupes the Horn Is on the Right Hand Side.
The Headlights are Not E & J's or Brown's they are the Super Rare Atwood-Castle #204's.
The Body was built by Peter Douma in St Catherines,Ontario

Beautiful car! I've seen a couple of other 9/10 coupes at a friends in Illinois. They are stunning. I sat in one and was surprised how roomy they are.

Very nice.

Thank you. Bodies can be built, as well as other body items, but original chassis items are getting scarce. It is nice when a correct chassis is used under reproduction bodies. It is also nice when the new bodies are correct. It is interesting that in the video a person is saying "100 year old car". In reality he could not see what was 100 years old. You and I know, when we look at such a vehicle, that what we see is not 100 years old, but the person viewing the T thought that this was a well preserved original T.
