Vehicle Description
1917 MODEL "T"
ROADSTER
If you looked up the word ubiquitous in your automotive dictionary,
the answer would be Ford model "T". Though first built over
one-hundred and ten years ago, it's simple charm and rugged
character is still loved by millions. One would not be surprised if
there were more "T" than Chevy Vegas still being driven.
We are offer a charming black, what else would it be, 1917 "T" for
auction. Only the second time "T"'s history, 1917 was first year
for new body updates. The hood was tapered with a curved top. The
folding hinges are now at the point the joint between the flat
sides and curved top. These changes are, almost needless to say,
subtle but it would be called "low hood" "T". This style lasted up
until 1923 and would be the most numerous of all. More than half of
all "T"s are "low hoods".
While, the "T" has better parts availability than some cars made
only a few years ago, has the support of thousands of loyal owners
and will always attract a crowd at any car show, the Roadster has
also been a great foundation for a classic Hot Rod.
Estimate: $15,000-$20,000
