Branson Auction to feature a Chevrolet-tweaked 1926 Ford Model T Frontenac

Buying a classic car is really not the most logical decision, and there are a lot of people out there who should think twice when considering buying one.

In 1927, the Ford Model T, credited with putting the world on wheels, became the single most-produced car with more than 15 million built, a record it held until 1972.

Vintage racing has been booming as old-car hobbyists, dedicated track stars and well-financed collectors discover the joys of getting a classic competition machine out for sport.

Texans ride tall in the saddle, they say, although this is probably not what they had in mind. The Pick of the Day might look like an odd custom-bodied creation.

This custom hot rod screams “look at me!” It stands out, demands attention and perhaps has the ability to attract flying saucers with its glowing paint.

So here’s the story of this barn-found 1926 Ford Model T Tudor (sedan) as shared by its owner, who has it listed in a classified advertisement on ClassicCars.com.

Back in 1915, Edsel Ford and some of his buddies drove from Michigan to San Francisco to attend the world’s fair, the Panama Pacific International Exposition.
