Fully restored 1922 Ford Model T Touring.

SOLD 10/08/24

Is this a Canadian built car? I ask because it has the slanted windshield, a drivers door, and the older style top on a later one man top frame.

This is not a Canadian car - it came with records showing it spent some time in Buenos Aires Argentina, where someone cut out the left door pattern. I remade a new left door and I find it's really handy when working under the dash.

I think it may have been bodied in Buenos Aires. The top bows are unique, or at least where they mount to the body, plus the rear doors seem wider than usual. The radiator apron is also unique. Interesting.

Interesting idea. I know Ford shipped 100,000 frames and engines separately to Argentina, but the articles I found never mentioned bodies. Makes sense a local coach work might have built them.
