For Sale at Auction: 1917 Ford Model T in Saratoga Springs, New York

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.
