1927 FORD MODEL T SPEEDSTER
Engine No. C670814
White with red leather interior.
Engine: four-cylinder in-line, cast-iron block, crankcase and cylinder head; Gearbox: Two speed planetary with a two speed Ruxtall; Brakes: rear wheel drum; Suspension: transverse leaf spring front and rear. Left hand drive.
No other motor car has had quite a significant impact as the Ford Model T. Introduced in October 1908, the revolutionary little cars were simple, reliable and designed to exploit Henry Ford's concept of motoring for the masses. Manufactured on the then novel production-line system, they sold for about $525 in 1913. Although the Model T had no sporting pretentions, its cheapness, strength and availabilty (about fifteen million were eventually made) meant that it was immensely attractive to the "special" builders of the day.
This Model T Speedster is a Canadian built example. It has a special tuned engine and it has on occasion on been driven up to 60mph. The general appearence of the car is in good condition but the owner says that the brakes need some additional attention for them to operate properly.
