Vehicle Description
The St. Louis Car Museum is pleased to present this stunning 1911
Ford Model T Speedster. We do love all cars, and each one has its
own beauty and place, but every once in a great while you find one
that is more a piece of art once polished up like a new piece of
jewelry. This Model T is one of those seldom seen cars that
possesses the epidemy of brass era vehicles with gleaming bright
work and accessories; you just can't help but admire its
beauty!
Finished in a racy Bright Red with Gold vinyl pinstriping and White
leatherette seat covers over custom buckets. The brass fixtures and
trim appointments are polished to a high sheen, with the overall
presentation well executed. The August 1926 production engine
allows for an electric starter that was enhanced with a full
12-volt, negative ground conversion. Also added were a Kent Atwater
Type H ignition distributor, single coil, a 12-volt alternator by
Texas T's, and Townsend intake manifold. Simplicity was the main
purpose of the speedster, so only an amperage meter and
brass-winged Boyce Motometer exist to better monitor the engine
vitals. A four-blade cooling fan and shroud aid in this
process.
Accessories include monocle windscreen, rearview mirror, oval gas
tank on brass pedestal, rear-mounted toolbox with vintage tools,
wire spoke wheels, Ruckstell overdrive rear axle & Rocky Mountain
rear brakes, K-W ignition switch, carburetor air filter, functional
bulb horn, brass Ford running board step plates, wood steering
wheel, 4.50-21 wide whitewall tires, Ford oiling can, E&J Ford
Model 666 acetylene gas flame headlamps, and rear oil wick
taillamp!
As stunning as this machine is, it is also very capable of being
driven! In fact, the engine enhancements make it quite enjoyable to
drive and very easy to use. Since the car has no odometer, we are
selling the vehicle mileage exempt, but feel it had limited use
since completion many years ago. Whether you choose to display it
in your garage or take it on tours, we are sure you will be
delighted to call it your own! Please feel free to contact us with
any questions concerning the Model T, or about Worldwide Shipping
of the car once purchased.
