Looking for magazine with Grandpa's Car on Cover

Post by Scott S. » Mon Jan 28, 2019 6:14 pm

My Grandfather's car was featured on the front of the-we think- Model T Times magazine in the early 1970's. It may have been Vintage Ford but we are pretty certain it was Model T Times. Attached is one of the pictures that was professionally taken for the photo shoot of the 1921 Center Door which is the car featured on the cover. This photo hung on my Grandparents wall as long as I can remember and I would love to find a copy of the magazine the car was featured in. We thought in my Grandparents possessions we would find a copy but have not had any luck. I am reaching out to those who may have early Model T Times or VF magazines if you could look and see if you find this car on the cover and could let us know what issue and year the car was featured on we would greatly appreciate it! And if you have a copy you would be willing to sell that would be even better! :)

Back story on the car: My Grandfather purchased the car in the 1950's in bushel baskets and restored the car at that time. The car is still in the family now owned by my Uncle. Thank you in advanced!

If your grandfather's name was Donahue, 1921 sedan, then it's Model T Times issue of Sept/Oct 1972 Vol.#141

Dan- Thank you very much! After doing some research I think MTFCI sells digital copies of back issues of Model T Times, I will look into purchasing that and with your information be able to find this issue. Thank you again!

Thanks ! We're the 3rd owners of this Centerdoor and the 2nd owner albeit known to be a "purist", installed the oil lamps - I think it looks O.K.

So far I was able to find one in my collection, if I locate a second I'll part with one. Let me check further.

Brian- Thank you very much for posting the picture of the cover! I couldn’t help but smile seeing that! Very cool! If you are able to find another copy we would be interested in purchasing it from you. We will be at the Florida tour in St. Augustine if you are able to bring this copy with you we would enjoy looking at it. Thank you again!

Was up late!! Found an extra copy! It has 10 pages about your car, had to read it.
The copy is yours, :D I'll bring it to the Florida tour!
Hope it warms up down there.
