1917 My Express T, has a Syverson Cab. Company wooden body, there is a tag on the body that says:

"Syverson Cab. Co. #328"

Questions:

1) Is Syverson still in the Model T Business?

2) Is there anyway to tell what year the wooden body was made? All I know for sure is that the car was restored back in 1971.

Syverson built T bodies and replacement wood parts in the 1970's - 1980's.

Question:


3) Is Syverson considered a quality/ desirable body for a "T" to have?

Nowell

I will check check that tag number for you and tell you the year it was made.

My father Robert Syverson made Model T wood bodies up until 1980, and then I made them up into the mid 1990s. All in all close to 1000 bodies were made starting about 1955. Syverson Cabinet Co. is still in business and still does a bit of T stuff.

The company was first located in Des Plaines, Illinois and then moved out to Palatine, Illinois in the mid 1960s. Last year I sold that Palatine property and moved the shop up near Mundelein, Ill

My dad had moved down to Florida after he stopped working,

Ray

Hi Ray,

In your archives do you have any type of purchase/ receipt documents that I could get a copy of for my Express T's history file? Thanks!
