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.

Production of Shelby GT350 is coming to an end
Fri, 26 Jul 2013One Autoblog staffer who drove the limited-edition Shelby GT350 wrote it probably was the best Mustang he'd driven, but, at some point, the fun had to come to an end: December 31 is the last day the GT350 will be available to order.
The GT350's option list has evolved much like it did for the original 1965-67 GT350. For 2011, the 45th Anniversary edition only came in coupe form and was painted white with blue stripes, just as with the 1965 car. The 2012 GT350 was offered as a coupe or convertible, and three colors were added to the option list, just like the 1966 model. For 2013, more colors and options were added in addition to equipment and styling updates, which resulted in Wilwood instead of Baer brakes. No major changes were made for the 2014 model. From the first car in 2011, customers have been able to choose between three different configurations for their 5.0-liter V8: naturally aspirated with 440 horsepower, supercharged with 525 hp (with warranty) or supercharged with 624 hp (without warranty).
"When we unveiled this latest version of the Shelby GT350, we promised it would be built for a limited time to preserve its collectability and value," states John Luft, president of Shelby American. He may have a point, because the original GT350, which also had a limited production run, is among the most valuable muscle cars in the world.
Ford not backing down on MPG-based marketing strategy
Thu, Jun 26 2014The Blue Oval may have to back off a bit from the green messaging. Ford has had to lower fuel-economy ratings on a number of 2013 and 2014 model-year vehicles, namely its hybrids. And that may force the US automaker to rethink some of its marketing strategy, Automotive News reports. Ford has spent much of the year pushing its fuel-efficiency improvements, with everything from a Super Bowl ad saying its Fusion Hybrid gets "almost double" the fuel efficiency of an average vehicle (after the recalculation, it's now more like 75 percent better) to claiming the Fiesta is the most fuel-efficient non-hybrid in the US (it's actually the Mitsubishi Mirage) to stating the C-Max Hybrid gets better fuel economy than the Toyota Prius V (it doesn't). Nonetheless, Ford doesn't plan on changing its mpg marketing emphasis anytime soon, the company said in an e-mailed statement to AutoblogGreen. "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA." "Providing customers great fuel economy is a key part of our Ford vehicle DNA," the company said. "We will continue to highlight our vehicles features and attributes in our advertising and marketing, which includes fuel economy and fuel-saving technologies like EcoBoost and hybrids." Earlier this month, Ford said it would lower the fuel-economy ratings of models such as the C-Max, Fusion and Lincoln MKZ Hybrids as well as most of the Fiesta line because of mistakes in the company's internal testing data. It was the second change for the C-Max Hybrid. The good news for Ford is that its fleetwide fuel economy is up almost 40 percent from a decade ago, compared to an improvement of around 23 percent for Toyota. Still, while sales of Ford hybrids and plug-ins are about even with last year through the first five months of 2014, C-Max Hybrid sales have plunged 49 percent from a year earlier. Earlier this year, Ford admitted that the first fuel economy downgrade had a negative effect on sales and we can find proof in the numbers. Before that the change was announced, in August 2013, Ford was consistently selling over 2,000 – and sometimes over 3,000 – C-Max Hybrids a month. In September, it dropped to 1,424, then to 1,438 in October. It didn't climb back above 2,000 until May 2014. The second mpg adjustment was announced in June.
Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.
