Vehicle Description
1922 FORD MODEL T DEPOT HACK To insure keeping the original
integrity this 1922 Ford Depot Hack has been completely
disassembled, inspected, refurbished and reassembled with original
Model T parts to pristine condition. All of the engine parts,
driveline, and sheet metal match original serial numbers. The car
has the original Ford option of a starter button, along with the
original front hand crank. The wheels were taken apart, and each
spoke sanded and re-varnished. The 31x3 inch tires are from the
original manufacturer "Corker" which is now a subsidiary of
Firestone. An inline 4 cylinder engine that uses a magneto and uses
no ignition distributor at all, powers the car. The fan engine
"belt" is actually a leather piece that looks just like a belt that
you might wear to hold up your pants. That is where the term belts
and horses originated. There is no clutch or clutch pedal to shift
gears as it only has high and low gearing. Up around the steering
column is a spark adjuster to retard the timing on the left and the
throttle arm on the far right, the reverse gear to back up is in
the center, and the pedal to put the car into high gear or low
gear. The vehicle tops out at about 37 miles per hour! What a
unique experience it would have been to travel across country with
the entire family in a Model T! Ford Motor Company had made over 50
different types and styles of the famous Model "T" that consisted
of cars, light trucks and of course the Depot Hack. All 50
different types used the same chassis, making only the bodies
different. The Depot Hack had an original retail cost from Ford
Motor Company of $895. The vehicle primarily was used to take
passengers from the local train DEPOT to the local hotel via the
car called the HACK (or taxi cab) ergo the DEPOT HACK was born.
