It is a nice article. Although mostly just taking excerpts from Chris Martin's wonderful book! Chris did a tremendous amount of research into Montier's history and the custom Fords he built and sold during the model t era and on into the 1930s.
Hopefully that article will inspire many people into learning more and buying Chris's book!

Amazon carries the book and has a good overview listing.

Chris does frequent this forum from time to time! He has in the past offered the book directly through this site. I don't know if he is doing that now or not? I haven't heard much from him in awhile. I hope all is okay with him.
I believe he lives in Australia.
Maybe someone closer to him can contact him and he can update us on the availability of his book?

Edmund, the book has 135 pages and virtually every page has one or more photo's.
I am a good friend of Chris's he lives only about 15 minutes away from me.
Wayne, he is OK as a matter of fact he is off to France in the next few months to meet up with
Model T guys there after last year going to a book launch in France.
The quickest and easiest way to get the book is Amazon, it is a great Model T book to have.
Just watch you order the book in English and not the French version of it.
If you are into speedsters you definitely need to have the book.
