Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2005: Amazing museum quality Model T replica

Good day all,

A year or so ago, before the Forum changed over, someone wrote about a Model T replica that an old Gentleman spent many, many years making by hand (I believe it took him 18 years to build). I was enthralled by it and would like to read more about it online, but cannot find anything on it. I believe it was a replica of a 1912 or 1913 speedster. He used mostly gold and brass and although it was, perhaps, 1/8 scale, he put in so much painstaking detail that everything worked just like a full sized Model T. Coils, spark plugs, carburetor, engine, scale sized bolts and nuts, etc. I believe it is in a museum somewhere. Can someone provide me with an online address or website so I can read about this incredible Model T model and perhaps go see it one day?

Thank you.

Jim Patrick

I saw a picture of it on the web. It is displayed in a window at some kind of museum. Was it in Minnesota? Sorry, looked all over but couldn't find it.

The model is in the museum of a company called "Creative Clock" in Eugene, Oregon. The website is www.creativeclock.com, and if you click on the side bar labeled "Clock Museum," then go to the "Ford Room" there are a number of photos of the model. If you are ever in Oregon it is well worth a visit to the museum. They have a lot of very interesting items, including the model of the Model T Torpedo.

I also remember reading in one of the club magazines a couple years ago about a fellow who was doing the same kind of thing using plastic molding techniques. Does anyone know if he completed the work and if it is on display?
