Description:
1926 Ford Model T Coupe
The first Model T was produced on September 27th, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan and mobilized not only the United States but many other countries. With dealerships and factories set up throughout the world, the Model T was mass produced and easily available to many buyers. Often, factories were established in other countries to get around an import tax, thus keeping the cost low. The innovative Model T served its purpose. It was inexpensive and reliable, many lasting even to this day.
For consignment, a 1926 Ford Model T coupe, in the same family since the 1950's and owned by our consignor since 1989 who spent the few years after attaining to do some restoration including paint, interior, windshield, and wiring.
Exterior
Marti reports don't go back this far but suffice it to say that many of the 1926 Model T's were black as it was one of only three colors available. And our car has great coverage in black including the fenders, painted wooden spoke 21-inch wheels, headlight housing, and exposed frame and suspension. It's contrasted by the light rings, motometer and radiator surround, wheels rims, side mirror, step plates, and of course, door handles. Its glossy black body extends to the enclosed cabin while the windshield visor and roof are satin black vinyl. Out back, a red light and STOP light ride the left fender, while a spare and a whimsical tin man are mounted in the center. Imperfections are limited to one scratch in the paint.
Interior
Pinstriped gray cloth covers the inside face of the doors with just a window crank to disrupt the pattern and the bench seat is covered in the same material with vertical stitched segments. The black 4 spoke steering wheel occupies a narrow column that descends to a simple black dash where the ignition and amp meter share a plated frame. A fitted rubber mat covers the floor and gray flannel covers the headliner and back wall, all in good condition.
Drivetrain
In 1993, a rebuilt engine was installed and that's what is found behind the engine cover and the consignor states the original motor will come with the car. This one is a clean 177ci L-head inline 4 cylinder rated at 20 horsepower and fueled by a 1-barrel carburetor. A "new style" radiator was installed to solve typical overheating issues. A 2-speed planetary transmission sends power to the rear axle and 3.63 gears. Mechanical drum brakes are found on the rear wheels only.
Undercarriage
Generally clean underneath with minimal surface rust and some oil noted on the rear differential. The single exhaust ends just before the rear axle as the stock style muffler serves as the tailpipe as well. Transverse leaf springs are used for suspension in the front and the back.
Drive-Ability
It runs and rolls and it's almost 100 years old! What a fantastic testament to early Ford engineering as this car uses its 20 horses to make a lap around our loop where the limited functionality and items such as lights, gauges, and brakes all work. While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
A real antique that functions and looks good tooling down the road in a coat of black that would have rivaled your neighbor's stallion back in the day. Enclosed cars were becoming the hot ticket and this two seater would have been regarded as a sports car, if they knew what a sports car was! Long ownership and lots of upkeep makes this a fantastic candidate for your consideration.
