I am reading the book" a centennial history of the model T" by Robert Casey( phenomenal book by the way) and one of the advertisements in the book is a 1924 ad targeted at women advertising the car as warm and snug in the winter. I am new to the model T world but I don't think any model t ever had heat. Am I wrong?

This refers to heaters made for T's. There were not as many as made for Model A's.

No factory heat except what come off the engine. Remember most people before then were driving open cars so any closed cars were warmer and snugger then that open car. It's a matter of prospective.

Hi Vincent,

Yes, no factory heat as such, other than what might waft up from the floorboards and through the firewall.

So, bundle up, it's cold out there.

A closed Ford can be warm and snug.

We have to remember that riding along in a automobile in the early days of motoring was a real treat in itself. Being warm in a car wasn't really thought about other than just putting on a warm coat.
The cars and trucks nowadays are warm and cozy in the winter, cool in the summer and handle and drive like a dream compared to Model T,s and other antique cars but they are a lot more fun!
