I have no affiliation with this, I just thought someone might be interested. Also any observations might make a good thread. I don't think it's a 23 but rather a late 25.

A friend of mine ( with two Ford Model Ns) lives in Concord NE. If anyone is interested he might know of the car, or get more info.

If that was any later '25, it would be a '26? A lot of other interesting stuff in that field.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Just found another by Des Moines, Iowa. Again no connection here just thought somebody on the forum might be interested. I need to go mow the lawn or something....
... me too, before my bank account gets hit... Think I have some trash to take to the dump or something...
That T Coupe is a 25 with what looks to be a 26 engine in it if thats a 26-27 transmission cover on it. You can tell for sure if has a 26-27 engine in it by looking at the top rear of the head. If it has 2 bolts that screw in the block that go through the transmission cover its got a 26-27 engine it it that was put in in later years.
The doors dont have wooden framework but are metal so that makes it a late 24 or a full 25.
My opinion.
If that coupe were my neighbors, I'd probably buy it. But it's not...so I won't. Whew!
The rear axle is also 26/27 - but it's hard to tell if the front spindles are? (don't think so)
IF I was a doctor ... I might have snatched it up!
;-)
It's a 26-27 transmission. I can see the bolt mounting bosses....
The wood you can see looks pretty good for a car in that shape. Fun to look at.
Thanks Wes.
In the 5th picture down, is that a pink and white '56 Ford convertible in the background?
Dave;
Looks like a '55 Ford Ragtop.
I see that I forgot to add the link to the one in Des Moines. I rushed to go and mow in an effort to save some money, I don't need another unfinished project laying around.

And of course I posted the wrong one... old timer moment.

If you could tie the car down wrong, that would be it!

Maybe a Mercury hardtop!
It's not a Mercury. It's a '55 Ford Victoria.
I noticed that 55 Victoria earlier in the thread a few days ago. I was wondering when someone would se it also! If that was a crown victoria it would be worth ten times what the T Coupe would be after it was restored. Even so a 'Plain' victoria is still awful good!
