I had the honour of being invited by the President of the Taree RSL Sub-Branch to take part in the ANZAC Day Parade, driving my Model T down the heart of Taree’s main street. Riding alongside me was 99-year-old WWII veteran Dulcie Balderston, who enlisted in the Royal Australian Air Force at just 18 — an incredible legacy of service for which we...

I’m looking to put together a reliable engine together with an oil pressure system, drilled “C” crank, and a Roof 8 “Liberty” head. It’s my understanding that the various OHV engines had issues with sufficient cooling for the rear (#4) cylinder. This was known, even back in the day, so Frontenac included a water manifold with their converted T...

This is a set of cast iron stops that mount to a T front axle. I’m guessing the idea was to keep the spindles from going over center.

There looks to be a manufacturer name cast in them but I can’t make it out.

I’ve never seen another set like this before. Would make a really great addition to any Model T accessory collection.

I am trying to find out any information on Curt Austin (I believe out of Roscoe, IL) and his vehicle restorations. His name keeps coming up (in passing) in connection with some high-end restorations, but nothing more than it was restored by Curt Austin. If anyone has any information that they might be able to offer I would be greatly appreciative.

About 25% of early Ford sales information survived in the Accounts Receivable ledger books at The Henry Ford, Benson Library. Trent Boggess tirelessly entered the data by hand (thousands of records) into a database included with Carl Pate’s (RIP) Early Ford book.

However, reviewing the actual ledger pages and entries provide additional...

Ford Motor Co. began selling cars in July 1903. The company experienced immediate success, and sold almost 200 cars by the start of their first full fiscal year, beginning October 1, 1903. The Electric Vehicle Co. wasted little time initiating a law suit. This author indicates the suit is expected to last for years. He was right.
