Interesrting. The Benson Ford collection has some of the shipping information and some early build sheets.. Someone should spend some time at the Benson researching for a possioble link to this car. I did so on my 1910 and found the name of the Ford Dealer .

I need a top such as illustrated, a model 75 JB Ford light. I will pay a very good amount for one.

Scoot, my email to you was returned. I do not have a photo, for my new camera does not have a good link to my computer. Will let you know when it does. In the mean time, send me a correct email address.

A great show. There is a tri motor in the Henry Ford Museum. Northwest Airlines (now Delta) started with several Tri Motors. Tri Motors could take off and land on a short runway. There were used in South American for many years. I remember seeing one in 1938 in Minneapolis at the old Airport. My bro...

The early 1909 T, the hand cranks were held in place in a upward position. This is normal and all early Ts were that way. It also looks as if it has a Brisco radiator wh Does anyone know the history of this phto?ich was standard on the early Ts. It probably is one of the first 2500 Ts, which had a b...

The one on the left has a low neck, so is probably a 1910 model year. To the right are some with a high nexks, so probably 1911s.

You should be able to find the unmarked one. I wish
I had that cap. Does anyone have one for sale?

The only real hard part is the brass cap with the ford name and model 75. J Brown also issued the same light for others with a plain top. I have one of those and have been offered others. I was once offered one with a model 100 top installed. I have thought of trying that.

Available at $135 plus shipping.

THAN IS FOR A NON STARTER T 1913-1919.

I have one, a bit rusty, but should be okay. offers.

Ellsworth swap meet is this Sunday. Ellsworthm Wisconsin. I am bringing Wisconsin auto license plates, pairs and singles fro m 1915 into the 1930s. About six pairs and perhaps 15 singles. the 191 5 is a single. Also will have a number of Tonka toys, some nice and some for restoration. A variety of e...

Most of us have owned what is now a car that we know we should have kept. I have four or five that would look great in my garage. One was a perfect, all original 1912 T touring made in November, 1911. Another was a 1932 Lincoln 4dr in great condition -- drove that when in high school.- The next woul...

There is a 1918 one listed for sale in the AACA magazine - restored.

A pre T would be an AC or a F. A mighty K is also nice - 07 or 08.

What would be the Model T, if found and you owned it, be? Mine would be an early 1911 Torpedo, all original, and made in 1910. The second one would be a two lever town car. This aside, I would be most happy if I could complete the restroation of my 1910 within my life time, I am 91. Okay, I have own...

not the same, but they all will fit and once on the car look okay.

Photographs taken at that time of large masses of parked autos show the great success of autos in the 16 or 17 years of sighnicficant auto production. Oldsmobile was the first producer of autos is greater numbers, Ford took over with the Model NRS and then the T. By 1916 the streets were packed with...

1911 is the accepted date for the first ELECRTIC starter as standard equipment on a auto - Caddilc. There were self starters, non electric before that time. Units used a lever by the driver, etc.

I really enjoy Ford Model Ts "as found" They are more interesting than a perfect "restored one". Often these Ts were put together "on a dime" back in the 1940-50s. There were lots of parts lying around. Here in Minnesota I remember those scrap yards that were full of 1915-30 cars and parts.I remembe...

also show the difference of the franme bracket 26-27 from the 12-25.

How do you determine if the shaft is for 26-27 and not 12-25?

Do you have a friend in Minnesota who could pick up these items from me? I have a complete drive shaft unit and a nice set of rods. I do not ship such item, at 91 one it is difficult for me to assemble a shipping container and/or to take to a shipper. I would examine the drive shaft unit if it is po...

Thank you to all who posted and total who read the postings. A group of friends fro the Valley Model T Club, Mi nnesota came over in the morning and installed the rebuild 1910 rear end in to my May, 1910 Touring. We had coffee andd tearts out. I took from about 9 a.m. t 11 a.m. to install it. Fortun...

Thank you all

June 21 is my 91st birthday. I have a group of Model T owners coming over to install the correct 1910 rear end in my 1910 Model tomorrow on my 91st birthday. I will be busy all day, so that is why I am posting this today. I am doing well and enjoy life. I check the forum twice a day for the latest a...

They will fit a 1909-11 axle and look okay. I have had two sets over the years. Thoise than need one piece spindles for their 09-11 axle, prefer the correct ones. So, while rare, they should d used on a 1922 axle.

In the spring of 1947, I needed to reline the bands on my 1910 that I bought the year before at the age of 14. I dropped the nut from one of the peddle shafts. I ended up taking off the trans cover, since on a 1910, the cover plate is small, so the whole cover needs to be removed. I then had to find...

Two wonderful museums. The large collection is open to all. The other building with cars and other, one has to make a reservation. I have been there several times, but now at almost 91, I do not travel out to California. I have been told, that once a year, employees can chose one of the cars to diri...

If you want it done right and fit right at a fair cost, Mike and his company are the one to contact.

Yes, there was a lighted Motor Meter, I have several in my collection and several NOS light units in original boxes in my meter collection. I will post some photos tomorrow.

A great opportunity for the owner of a well restored 1915 open T. Switch bodies with the season, as was done back in the mid teens on big cars.

Travels with Zerobia by Rose Wilder Lane is a wonderful story of two young women traveling Europe in a Model T Sedan in the 1920s. Rose Wilder Lane was a well known author who was the daughter of Wilder who wrote the Little House on The Prairie series. Original copies of this book are rare. I have o...

I am an old rimer,
I have been around a long time.
I have had my'10 since '46,
Andwe both are just fine.

I am an old timer at almost 91, I am not a Tiger or Bull Dog, but am Eagle eyed.

what do the repro driven plates cost. 3321and 3321B? What do the real nice originals go for?

It has possibilities. With some work, it could be a fun car. Fikr st move the body (seats) forward so the the front seat is closer to the steering wh eel. Replace the radiator with a Ford brass one and put a 15-16 hood former and hood on it. Put flat front fenders on it. Make it more like a 1910-11 ...

In chrome plating (done right) the step is copper plating, which is the buffed out smooth. Then nickle plating and then chrome plating.

I put a 1960 set in my 1910 two ytears ago. I have not driven it for enougth miles to show up a problem, but they fit real nice.

The 1927 TT trucks were really 1925 TT trucks - at least for the body style. It may be that the carb set up is correct for your truck.

To me, they look like Scandinavian bands from the 1950s or iso. I remember the sewn edges. The early ones, as I remember were that color. Brown ones are later. These would be good to use.

few Model T Fords are ever "Fully restored" hey are actually "rebuilt"/ Yes I know there have been many that meet our standard for "restored", but it is very diffacult to paint (finish") a wood body 1909-1911 Model T. Paint was not used, they were varnished and you could see the wood grain under the...

It is listed in the 1961 AACA list of antique autos. It is listed as owned by B J Hall and he stated it was fully restored.

This T is listed in the 1961 list of A ACA list of antique autos. It was listed as owned, in 1961, by B J Hall and he stated it as fully restored.

This T is listed in the 1961 list of A ACA list of antique autos. It was listed as owned, in 1961, by B J Hall and he stated it as fully restored.

I feel it is not the $$ it would take to "restore" this old Ford, It is that some would just like to see if it would run and drive, some would like to make a good looking T out of it hat would be usable for outings and some would like the challenge.

WOW lots of very importanr information. I may download all and put on disc or tumb drive.

Auto repair men who did a lot of break jobs, often suffered from lung cancer. The 1910 and other early fords had the muffler wrapped with asbestos. i have saved a roll of asbestos to use as I rebuild the original muffler. I do not plan on hanging around the muffler when the car is running.

I have a later Whiz can, probably from the 1940s, It is more standard in appearance.

The can of Whiz paint. Circa 1928 --see cartoon on the can - the auto is from the late 1920s. I plan on keep;ing the can, but will; bring it to the show on Sunday just to show it off.

I will post a photo. The can is as found dirt and all. It is solid. Has one dent, but no holes.

I assume the buildings at the museum are fire protected with fire activated sprinklers. I also assume that gasoline and similar items are stored properly. How are rare paper goods stored? It is not the dollar worth of the musuem items, it is the historical worth that is important.

Thank you for the information about using slip on wheel bearings and possibly problems.. In the 1950s and 60s, it was known that Model A and early VB Ford front bearings would work and were used. They were not expensive and many of us had some NOS ones sitting around. I used them on at least some of...

Near Greely? I spent a summer in Greely when My dad taught summer classes at the college.

I have an unopened quart can of WIZZ black enamel paint from the 1930s. WIZZ cans are deemed collectable. I wo under what to do with it. Open it and use it and then sell the can? Or should I take it to a swap meet as is? Or should I just keep it along with someother WIZZ items I have. At my age (alm...

I have a Defende with keys as illustrated. Is it complete? If someone needs it, I am ooen to an offer.

In the summer of 1929 My father drove is new Whippet Sedan from Minnesota New York, then into Canada and back to Minnesota. With him was my mother, 4 year old sister and my year old older brother. They used a tent and the car. Many small towns had camp ground areas. My dad would ask each day if ther...

I have used them on a T years ago and had no trouble.

That is a 1928-30 Model A Ford key for the ignition. Only, it seems, are the early ones (1928?) marked with the Ford script. Of the ones I have in my Model; A Ford key collection, I have only several with the Ford name for this key.. I have a number of originals without the Ford name.

One more note. There was a local movie shot that had a scene from 1929. They needed cars and asked for use of my 1931 roadster. I put a pair olf 1929 plates (nice ones) on my 31 for the movie. With 1929 plates, it still was a 31.

Remember the saying ; Is a rose by any other name still a rose? You can call your car what you want, that does not change what it is.

Has anyone made a new tool that does what this tool does? While it is great to have an original, it is what the tool does that is important.

T he body and top is from two unit buggy. The body and top is worth perhaps $1500, The chasis perhaps $ 1500,. so this T is probably worth about $3000.

Check with the motor vechicle department of your state as to registration rules. Also find out how long registration records are kept. Where did the car come from? W as it registered at one time?
In Minnesota one can post a bond when retitling a auto.

nice T, but why red? correct deep blue looks much better.

Yes we are getting older. I am 90 and have had an interest in early autos since I bought my 1910 T in 1946. I did not drive down this year because the sale times are so short. Let us put everyone inside. Start set up at noon on thursday and only let sellers in on Thursday. With the buildings full of...

Shows us what was there and what you bought.

A nice unrestored Couplet. It will be interesting to see if it was ever "restored". It will/or did make a very nice T

The body is a 1911, but has added front doors. Could be an early 12 made in 1911. The arm rest is curved. The two early 1912s I once owned (one has made in December 1911, the front seat arm rest, as I remember was changed to accomodate the doors.

It is a 1911. The panel on the rear door is smooth.

It is a 1911 model year. the arm rest of the front seat is curved.

A very nice example of a 1920 T. We know it is a good Model T for it drips a bit of oil.

A museum auto should be correct in all possible details. The Warp Museum is full of antique cars, perhaps 300. Somew are correct, some are way off base. People view these autos as a good mrepresentive of what they are listed at. Many are not, so people go away thinking that is what the car was and i...

Edison owned the Detroit Electric Company. Ford started out as a junior mechanic and rose to chief engineer. When Ford became famous he met Edison and reminded him that he had worked for him in Detroit. Edison did not remeber that.

Coffin nose Cords were 1936 and 1937. I have seen one that had a plaque on the dash that stated the same.

My board has from 2 to 5 keys on each hook. Another board I have has two or three on each hook.

This is one of my boards. You will notice the color is not black, but a shade of blue. The one sold seems to be black.

A 4 diget phone number modern?

there are at least two early 1909 T that were built up from parts. One is the "famous number 2" by Donald B Hess. There are numerous questions about that T. The frame is a later one (1913). The engine does not checkout as being that early. The other one is number 1001. That T is mostl;y correct, but...

I thouight it would go for much more.

I estimate that it will bring around 80,000.

That does help cool . Years ago I bouight a very nice 1923 (22 style) coupe that over heated after 30 minutes of use. I installed a system similar to this mone using a two gallon tank back in the rear area. Drove the T for 20 years and it never over heated after that.

Yes, I have done this several times. It seemed to clean out any sludge.

I have a set of hubs. The front are 5 1/2 inch sze and the rear 6 inch reworked straight axle hubs to take tapered axles. Rather than dismantle the wheels on the 1910, I would like to buy new rims and have new wheel spokes and rest made and assembled.

Where can I buy new rims for my 1910?

A 1927 roadster would be nice. I owned one back about 1960. A really nice T and it was a very late one, made in late May of 1927. A fun car.

When I bought my 1910 in 1946, it was titled as an 1909, so I refered to it as the "09" . When I found out it was an 1910, I stil called it the "09"for several years. Then I caled it "The T". When I bought a 1916 center door, the 1910 became the "10" again. After all these years and owning other Mod...

I have several original used keys, Ford script and numbered. If your keep/lock cylinder ils original, you should know the key number. Let me klnow th e key number and I will see if I h ave one with the same number.

I bought my 1910 in 1946. It5 was being sold as an antique and as a parade vehicle. The pure oil company bought it as a parade vehicle in 1931 in Chicago . Early Model T fords were being saved in the 1930s. AACA dates from the mid 1930s. So some were being saved at that time.. During WWII a 1910 Mod...

I am sure that is what it is.

I thought the commercial 1911 roadster had the same cushion'

The head light appears to be a model 19, so it may be a 1911m(I do not think it is a 12. By that time most all Ts had tops as standard equipment. Also moo windshield. Many nof the 09s did not have windsheilds or tops afrom the factory.

I was 14 when I bought my 1910 in 1946. My dad drove it home for me, but I was driving it around the neighborhood that day. It only took me a few minutes to learn how to drive the T. By the end of a few days I knew quite bit about Model Ts. I installed new bands a few weeks later. Bought a set of ba...

It could be a 1909. No' top. Some 1910s were also sold with out tops.

I see Santa is driving a 1910 Touring. He knows that is the best T made (I own one). Merry Christmas to all and may all of you have a great Model T year.

This has nothing to do with Model T Fords, only with common sense. Tell Price Harry to shut up. He is ruing the lifes of the Royal for his own gain. A "good Royal;": knows when to be quiet. Qween Elizabeth may have ben the last of the royal Royals.

If such a Model T exists, mid should not be in a orivatre collection, but at the Henry Ford or the T Musuem inm Richmond, so every one can enjoy seeing it.
