"1919 Ford Model T Touring Sedan
By 1918, half of all the cars in the U.S. were Model Ts. In his autobiography, Ford reported that in 1909 he told his management team, ""Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black"". During the lifetime production of the Model T, over 30 types of black paint were used on various parts of the car. Beginning in 1917, the hood design was changed to a tapered design with a curved top. Nearly 500,000 Model T's were built in 1919 with the price of $500 for a Runabout. Production would nearly double the following year.
For consignment, a 1919 Ford Model T Touring Sedan with the true miles unknown as there is no odometer. What is known is that this car has toured with the Model T Ford Club and has made two coast to coast trips, the second one during the anniversary of the Model T in 2009 after which the engine was rebuilt. Accompanying documents verify the work.
Exterior
We should look this good at 105 years old! Glossy black paint covers this Tin Lizzy sitting tall on 30-inch wooden spoke wheels which are also black. In fact, the only thing that's not black are the rims of the wheels, the steel steps on the running boards, and the amber lights up front and tail lights behind. Yes, even the retractable canvas top and its brace work are black and feature a three part rear window. The handsome car also features cowl lights, side mirrors, a tool chest, and a vertical windscreen that sets the high roofline when the top is in place. Forgivable imperfections include some scratches, chips, typical surface rust on the hood hinge along with chipped paint, various inclusions and rough spots, cracks, and a repair on the top.
Interior
The inner doors have a smooth layer of black leather, showing a few small tears but in generally good condition. As if displaced from a living room, two column tufted leather ""couches"" reside in the car as bench seats and present in very nice shape with a tear noted on the rear unit. Up front, four convex spokes occupy the black steering wheel that leads to a very simple black dash with three, shoe shaped pedals below on the floor that's covered in a fitted rubberized mat.
Drivetrain
The oil can is in place for the 177ci L-head inline four cylinder engine, rated at 20 horsepower and distributing fuel through a 1-barrel carburetor. It's mated to a 2-speed planetary transmission that routes power to the rear axle and 3.64 gears. The bright red horn looks modern in this bay where a leather fan belt is still in place!
Undercarriage
Only a little more complicated than your horse drawn carriage, the underside is clean and simple. Here, mechanical drum brakes occupy the rears only and a single exhaust travels through a stock style muffler and terminates under the car. Transverse leaf springs are utilized front and rear.
Drive-Ability
Our crack staff can drive anything from the late 1800's to modern day supercars, so this 1919 is no problem as we run a short loop around the asphalt. The car runs well and is not only comfortable, but provides open air fun at a decent pace! All functions on this simple machine work as they should. 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.
If you had fun on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride at Disneyland when you were young, well, here's the real deal! This authentic and functional antique is an amazing testament to an historic time in America when Ford not only owned the road, but owned manufacturing in general. Pack a bag and get ready to hit the cross country trail, or simply take this one to local shows and demonstrate just how far we've come in 100 years!
