1921 Ford Model T Depot Hack Restoration still looks great and is ready for Parades & Rallys! Click on the arrow in the picture below to see video that
includes more photos.
Double click on the arrow below to go to full screen. 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.

2015 Ford Transit
Wed, 11 Jun 2014As a segment, fullsize vans are stealth-fighter invisible on most consumers' radar. Visit a dealership for any of the four brands that offer them and you'll be lucky to find even one on display. These are commercial vehicles primarily, even more so than pickup trucks. Vans are the shuttles for plumbers, caterers, carpenters, concrete layers, masons, electricians, florists and flooring, and a huge part of this country's productivity is accomplished using them. At the moment, Ford is the 800-pound gorilla in that room - fully 41 percent of commercial vehicles wear a Blue Oval. So when Ford announced three years ago it would be ditching its commercial bread-and-butter E-Series, it meant the Transit that would be replacing the Econoline had huge, 53-year-old shoes to fill.
We were still a bit nostalgic about Econoline vans going away until going directly from the Transit first drive in Kansas City to an E-350 airport shuttle. Climb up through the Econoline's tiny double doors and bang your head on the opening, crouch all the way to your seat then enjoy a loud, rattle-prone, creaky, harsh ride on beam-hard seats while struggling to see out the low windows. This is an experience nearly every traveler has had. By comparison, the Transits we'd just spent two days with were every bit of the four decades better they needed to be. It cannot be understated just how much better the Transit is in every single way. The load floor is barely more than knee high. There's a huge side door, and hitting your head on a door opening is nearly impossible. Stand up all the way if you're under six-foot, six-inches - no more half-hunching down the aisle. There are windows actually designed to be looked out of. The ride is buttery smooth, no booming vibration from un-restrained metal panels and no squeaks. Conversations can be held at normal levels rather than yelling over the roar of an ancient V8. The seats are comfortable. The AC is cold. There are cupholders.
Enough anecdote-laying, what's in a Transit? We're talking about a very fullsized unibody van that's enjoyed a 49-year history in Ye Olde Europe. This latest iteration is part of the "One Ford" initiative, so it was designed as a global offering from the get-go, eschewing the body-on-frame construction the E-Series has used since 1975. Instead, the Transit integrates a rigid ladder frame into an overall frame construction made of high-strength cold-rolled and boron steel. The suspension is a simple but well-tuned Macpherson strut array up front with a rear solid axle and leaf springs.
Ford earnings take a dive on investment, slowing sales; workers get $6,900 in profit sharing
Thu, Jan 29 2015Ford Motor Company's pre-tax profits for 2014 took a beating, falling to $6.3 billion, a $2.3-billion drop from 2013, while overall revenues fell from $139.4 billion to $135.8 billion. Net income for 2014, meanwhile, plunged 56 percent, from $7.18 billion to $3.19 billion. Yeah, those aren't great numbers. While Ford's figures are largely down across the board, some of the weaker numbers aren't too difficult to explain away. The company launched 24 vehicles across the globe in 2014, including some of its biggest and most important volume models, like the 2015 F-150, as well as iconic offerings like the new Mustang. The result of this is both increased investment as well as a drop in total sales – US market numbers were down 164,000 units compared to 2013. Recall claims and high warranty costs also did a number on the Blue Oval. "2014 was a solid yet challenging year for Ford - with our investments and a record number of new products launched around the world positioning us for strong growth this year and beyond," Ford CEO Mark Fields said in a statement. Ford's 50,180 UAW workers in the United States will receive profit-sharing checks of $6,900. In some markets, Ford's fortunes were impacted by outside factors. Europe, for example, recorded more sales (up 70,000 units) and higher revenues (up $2.2 billion), but still reported a $443-million pre-tax loss. Blame was placed on the crumbling Russian economy, which has suffered from sanctions and slumping oil prices. Despite its troubles last year, the company still seems bullish on 2015. Ford's pre-tax outlook remains unchanged, as the company expects to make anywhere from $8.5 to $9.5 billion on the back of higher revenue from the company's automotive operations. We expect strong growth and improved financial performance in 2015 driven by our investments in new products and capacity," Ford CFO Bob Shanks said of the company's future.
