The current owner's father did all of the woodwork and brass
himself. This vehicle belonged to a museum in Arkansas for at
least15 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.
