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.

FCA UConnect fiasco could set over-the-air updates back years
Fri, Feb 16 2018Since cars have become more software dependent, most major automakers have been inching toward enabling over-the-air updates to keep vehicle electronics, ranging from infotainment systems to safety features, current. But there are only two car companies — Fiat Chrysler and Ford —± currently doing OTA updates, and on a limited basis. GM CEO Mary Barra announced last summer that the automaker will launch a new EV architecture and infotainment system capable of over-the-air updates "before 2020." The one exception, per usual, is Tesla. Since the release of the Model S almost six years ago, the maverick EV automaker has made routine OTA software updates a core part of its vehicle platforms and value proposition, and has sent out updates for everything from adjusting ride height to enabling Autopilot, largely without incident. When I've asked automakers why they can't do the same thing, I've heard reasons ranging from running afoul of their dealers (and archiac regulation) to security concerns. Automakers like Ford and General Motors say they want to act like tech companies, which routinely send out OTA updates for a wide range of devices, but overall the car industry still moves at a very cautious snail's pace. And when automakers do try to move faster and take more risks — unlike with a smartphone update, which people bitch about but live with — the consequences can be significant when things go wrong. That's the case with Fiat Chrysler America and its recent public-relations nightmare when an OTA update went awry. The update went out at the end of last week for the Uconnect system in late-model vehicles, and it made head units go into a near continuous reboot, which caused owners to not only lose access to entertainment features, but also critical functions like emergency assistance. Almost immediately, owners took to Twitter to express outrage, and FCA was caught flatfooted. A tweet went out on Monday on the UconnectCares Twitter account that read, "Certain 2017 & 2018 Uconnect systems may experience a reboot every 45-60 seconds. Our Engineering teams are investigating the cause and working towards a resolution.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R-C set to storm Watkins Glen
Wed, Jun 24 2015Ford is bringing its latest high-performance Mustang back to the track with the new 2016 GT350R-C, which will debut and race in this weekend's IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge race at Watkins Glen. The spiritual successor to the Boss 302R that's still taking part in the Continental Tire series today, the first GT350R-C will be campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports. It's had its fully independent suspension completely revised for the track, and it gets everything from new spring rates to new anti-roll bars to a lowered ride height. Like the road-going GT350, a 5.2-liter, flat-plane-crank V8 sits under the hood, although Ford didn't release any specifics on power output. In fact, details are in short supply. We're expecting some sort of sequential racing transmission, wildly enhanced brakes, and a thoroughly race-prepared cabin, although Ford hasn't released any info on that stuff. The Blue Oval also hasn't said anything about the aerodynamic package, but strangely, it looks more or less like what's featured on the standard GT350R. The front fascia and rear wing are pretty much identical, and even the side sills seem roughly similar to the production model. "Like so many Mustangs before it, the Shelby GT350R is a car born to race," Ford's director of global performance, Dave Pericak, said in the attached press release. "We're taking it to the track as the GT350R-C and we're ready to see what it can do against the best competition in the world." Scroll down for the official press release from Ford. And if you're so inclined, you can check out the GT350R-C's debut race this weekend at IMSA.com, with coverage starting at 12:25 P.M. If you prefer normal TV, Fox Sports 1 will get around to re-broadcasting the race on July 5 at 10:00 A.M.

10 automakers sued over keyless ignitions
Thu, Aug 27 2015Keyless ignition has rapidly proliferated throughout the auto industry to become a fairly normal feature on new cars. It's supposed to offer the convenience of keeping the fob in your pocket and just pressing a button to drive away. However, ten major automakers are now being sued in US District Court over claims that the system is dangerous, Reuters reports. The suit alleges that people are forgetting to shut off the engine, and the lack of an idle timer is the cause for 13 deaths by carbon monoxide poisoning and multiple injuries. The suit currently includes 28 plaintiffs, according to Reuters, but the lawyers are asking for class-action status to potentially add many more. The case goes after a major swath of the industry, including BMW, Daimler, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, and Volkswagen, plus their related brands like Acura, Infiniti, Mini, and Lexus. In all, over five million vehicles are affected. The assertion here is that people walk away from their vehicle without shutting it off because they believe the engine shuts off automatically. If parked in a garage, carbon monoxide can build up, leading to poisoning. The lawyers claim automakers know this is a problem and also cite 27 complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration about the issue, according to Reuters. The plaintiffs are asking for an automatic shut-off and damages from the companies. These concerns have come up before, though. Toyota previously faced a lawsuit over a carbon monoxide death after a woman accidentally left her Lexus running. Also earlier this year, GM recalled 64,186 examples of the 2011-2013 Chevrolet Volt because owners weren't shutting them off. The problem resulted in two injuries, and the company released a software update to limit the idling time.
