Estimates:
$10,000 - $14,000

Unique Heluva Good Cheese liveryBeautifully presented

Already in production for 15 years, by 1923 the Ford Model T was firmly entrenched in American motor history. Envisioned by Henry Ford as a low-cost, easily maintained, "universal" car, the success of the Model T was guaranteed by Ford's continued model upgrading, ensuring customers came back time and time again to purchase the latest model.

Offered here is a Model T coupe, which was a new body style for the 1923 model year. Replacing the well-loved Coupelet, the new body featured coupe doors that opened at the rear. Other new features included instrument panels and a sheet metal firewall instead of the wooden firewall used since the early 1900s. One of the most desirable body styles, a recorded 313,273 Ford coupes were made during the 1923 calendar year.

Painted in a fresh coat of Ford's iconic all-black color combination, this Model T proudly proclaims its use as a former fleet vehicle of the well-known Northeast cheese company Heluva Good! Not one to let business get in the way of having a good time, founder Perry Messinger gave his executive officers, Father Time as President; Death and Taxes as Treasurer; and Geo. Experience as Secretary proper credit on the side of the Model T.To view this car and others currently consigned to this auction, please visit the RM website at rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/AS18.
