When it comes to Model T’s, 99% of those produced were right off the production line.  Everything was standard, even the color (you could have any color as long as it was black).  For those very few Model T’s that were not production cars, most collectors will agree that the 1% custom bodied Model T’s are the most desirable for collecting. 

 

The early Model T town cars that were chauffeur driven are as rare as hen’s teeth.  Probably the next rarest type of Model T would be a Depot Hack.  These were bodied by many different body builders but they all had the same purpose and that was to haul plenty of people and luggage from the ranch or farm home into town and very often to the train station, back then called the depot.

 

Today Depot Hack’s are highly desirable and sought after by Model T collectors that want something more unusual then a touring car or a two or four door sedan.  These Depot Hacks are also sought after by collectors who like to load up the kids and grandkids and take them on a most unusual ride in a Model T.  There are some collectors who like to have the Model T in their garage just to be able to go out and take a look and feel the pride of ownership.  The really good news about a Model T Depot Hack, even though it is custom bodied and extremely rare and a lot of fun, the prices are relatively very, very cheap in this car collector market.

 

The car that you see before you was purchased by a gentleman who bought this vehicle in the early 1970s purchased it from the man who had bought it in 1934.   In the early 1970s the car was restored and the original body was discarded and was rebodied into this fabulous Depot Hack and used extensively during the 1970s and the 1980s for parades and rally’s.  The Depot Hack has been very well maintained over the years and was always stored inside.  Mileage is unknown.

 

As you can see from the many tour badges and parade photos it was driven all over.  Note the photo of the eight men in the Depot Hack – you can bring all your friends along for the fun!  The gentleman who restored this vehicle took great pride in this beauty and the care it has received shows in the very fine condition it is still in today. 

 

Several years ago when the gentleman who restored this car passed away, he left the car to his very young nephew.   Over the years the car has been well maintained and stored with a very good friend who has taken great care to exercise it and keep it in great running condition.  Recently he installed a fresh battery.  

 

We at MissChiTown love the Ford green paint with the black bumpers that show off the beauty of the wood perfectly!  A vinyl top covers the wood top.   The wood seats have black cushions.  It is believed that the original 4 cylinder engine is in this Depot Hack for sale.   The manual transmission is operated by three pedals on the floor, (the care taker of this vehicle said it was like an early type of automatic transmission).   These old Model T’s are well known for their dependability and this one still is going strong.  The caretaker says this Depot Hack is stored inside except when it taken out to be exercised to keep it in great running condition.

 

We love the way the tailgate provides access to transport the passenger’s luggage but as you can see from one parade picture it has also been utilized to transport extra passengers.  There is a visor over the windshield.  The caretaker says it has a crank start but he prefers the convenience of the electric start.  The electric start may have been an upgrade by the gentleman who restored it. 

 

The nephew who is sadly selling this vehicle hopes that the new owner will enjoy it and have fun taking it on rally’s and will be proud to show it off in parades as his uncle did over the years.

 

The seller has placed a modest reserve on this vehicle so everybody can bid!  If you have any questions on this great Model T give us a call at 847-774-4857.

Ford Mustang to get four-cylinder in Europe, but not US

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Fans of the Ford Mustang SVO, which was produced from 1884 through 1986 with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a manual transmission, may be interested to know that Ford is reportedly going to introduce something similar for 2015. But don't get too excited if you live in the US, as Edmunds reports that the vehicle will be offered in Europe only. Boo!
According to the report, Ford will put a version of its EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder into the engine bay of the Mustang. The engine would be enlarged from its current 2.0 liters to 2.3 liters, taking horsepower from 252 to around 300. The well-known 5.0 V8 engine will also be available in Europe.
"The Mustang is uniquely Ford and has a huge fan base here in Europe. Now those fans have something to look forward to and we look forward to providing more details in the near future," says Ford of Europe CEO Stephen Odell. That's great... but why not offer buyers in the States the (likely) fuel-efficient turbo option, too?

Project Ugly Horse: Part V

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The Slippery Slope
I've had a healthy appreciation for cars that stop since one truly unfortunate incident with a runaway 1971 Lincoln Continental.
It's funny how quickly a party can turn from, "We're all having blast" to "What happened to the front of the house, and how many stitches do you think this is going to take?" Standing in a Mustang salvage shop in Kodak, Tennessee, I couldn't help but feel I had strayed into the latter territory with Ugly Horse. There was a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 plucked from a rear-ended Cobra sitting off to my left. The shelves were lined with second-hand Roush and SVT components galore, but I couldn't stop staring at a set of rotors with the approximate diameter of my chest.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
