Vehicle Description
STK 2828 1924 Ford Model T Depot Hack
Many folks refer to the post-1919 Model T as a 'Veteran'. This term
was coined based on improvements made to this generation over the
previous 'Vintage' car. The 'Depot Hack' is one of the rarest
models found on this Model T chassis. The Hack was originally
intended to be guest transportation for hotels and resorts, but was
more often used as a taxi for transporting passengers and luggage
to/from railroad depots. The term 'Depot Hack' was derived from the
word 'hackney', another word for a taxi. This 1924 Model T Depot
Hack runs and drives like it did in '24. Our current owner states
that he purchased the Hack from the original owner's family 14
years ago - so it is basically a '2-owner' Model T. According to
lore, this Depot Hack provided transportation to and from train
stations in the Charlotte/Concord/Kannapolis region. Our handsome
Model T received a total restoration (completed in 2001) that
included a respray of 'Ford' Black and a careful refinishing of the
wooden 3-door body, (virtually all original wood). The passenger
compartment features three-row seating, rubber/carpet floor mats,
functional gauges, a 4-spoke wheel and a roof structure fitted over
wooden battens. This Model T has all of its original drivetrain.
Horsepower is provided by the factory 177ci flathead Ford that was
rebuilt in 2004 and produces 22hp. The most prominent upgrade to
the 'Veteran' was the introduction of an electric starter, which
made firing the 4-cylinder engine an easier and safer proposition
for the operator. The factory transmission, also rebuilt, is a
2-speed forward Hi/Lo planetary gear unit operated by the
three-pedal configuration. Wooden spoke wheels mount period correct
Firestone rubber and mechanical rear drums provide braking.
Headlights and taillights are electric (6 volt) with two addition
kerosene/wick running lanterns at the base of the windshield. This
Model T Ford Depot Hack would be a wonderful addition to anyone's
Blue Oval collection - take the family for a ride in the country,
or to the train depot. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS". ay of 'Ford'
