Re: White Model T
I believe this is an Australian T. It is a 1912 and custom bodied. Personally it's one of the nicest Model T's I have ever seen (in pictures only). The T looks years ahead of it's time compared to my 1912 Model T.
Nice rear view!

Re: White Model T
The cream Australian tourer is a very early Duncan and Fraser built car. D and F were Ford agents and distributors in Adelaide, South Australia. They were builders of high quality horse drawn vehicles, then tramcars and then their own line of bodies for the model T chassis imported into Australia. They ended up being the supplier of bodies to Ford when Ford took back the distributorships from each state, these being fitted to the Ford chassis in 1925. Once the Ford factory in Geelong was running for the improved 26-7 T's Duncan and Fraser ceased their body building enterprise.

John, that Aussie '12 is "ok", but frankly I think the good ol' American version can't be beat! JMHO (or not so humble!

Re: White Model T
Another Australian Duncan and Fraser cutie I wouldn't mind owning. It's a 1911 tulip bodied roadster. I don't know what colour it is, but it's definitely not black or dark blue.

Re: White Model T
White as a color was not used widely in the Model T era as it quickly went to yellow. Though I'm sure some had their cars painted white.
The problem was the early coach paints used a flat color coat covered with a gloss varnish. Varnish had a yellow tone to start with and sunlight yellowed it more. A good white pigment didn't come out till the 1920's (Titanium Dioxide) even with a good pigment the binder of the paint often was affected by sunlight also. Nitrocellulose Lacquer "Duco" also suffered from this problem even though it contained the Titanium Dioxide pigment and it wasn't until Acrylic Lacquer came out the yellowing problem disappeared. Early Fords here (Australia) were offered in any color but not white. Usually they were light grey, cream so show up as white in B&W photo's. A black Canadian Ford was often quickly repainted or sold already painted another color. Although some now frown on a Model T being anything but black from the factory a good proportion of the population in the day especially in other countries drove Fords in any color as long as it wasn't black.

Re: White Model T
Peter...that was very informative! Thanks for that!
Now I believe this picture was copied from a New Zealand website. Besides repainting the 1912 T, they also pinstriped it.

Re: White Model T
John H,
I could not find it when I posted before but now have ( too many files) here is a brochure which spells out what you could order from the Victorian Ford dealer for your Australian Ford bodied car, (Note: No White). Also I notice you live in Florida I will send you a private message soon hoping you may be able to help me track down Model T Fords in Florida for an article I am working on for the Vintage Ford magazine.

Re: White Model T
Cut and paste re: Stainless Steel Model T Monument shown in the above post. Henry Ford's father, William, was born in Ballinascarthy, County Cork, Ireland, in 1826. When the Great Famine struck in 1847, the Fords migrated to the United States and settled near Dearborn, Michigan, where Henry was born in 1863. Ballinascarthy commemorated its place in Ford family history when the community unveiled a stainless steel Model T monument in 2000.

For every Absolute Model T Fact there are at least three exceptions.

Re: White Model T
Well the first whitish Model T that I went ape over....
(And who hasn't winced from a cold stethoscope?)
....was this one pictured back in 1994 on the cover of The Vintage Ford.
Does anyone know if this T is still in circulation? It's a beauty and highly accessorized!

Re: White Model T
John, that D&F Australian body is REALLY beautiful! Well ahead of lt's time as far as U.S. Ts go. Very impressive design and styling, and it looks like excellent workmanship. The other D&F bodies also look very nice.
