current owner's father did all of the woodwork and brass himself.
This vehicle belonged to a museum in Arkansas for at lest 15 years
before being purchased by current owner. A variation in design of
the Model-T, this car was intended to transport passengers and
their belongings at busy train stations throughout the nation.
Built for function and economy of operation, it features a 4
cylinder, 20hp engine and a simple planetary transmission operated
by foot pedals. The horn and lights were powered by a magneto. Wide
open, it could reach a top speed of 42mph with 28 miles per gallon
gas mileage. Henry Ford developed the assembly line technique for
the construction of the Model-T chassis. Independent contractors
would then build the body. These efforts to cut the cost of
production were so successful that by 1919 sixty percent of all
motor vehicles in America and one half of all cars operating in the
world were Model-T Fords. The price of the Model-T Ford Depot Hack
Express in 1917 was $800.
