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.

Project Ugly Horse: Part VII

Devils, Details and Weight Reduction
There are many things I could call this exercise. A party is not one of them.
I've spent three days crammed in the axle well of this 1989 Mustang with nothing to keep me company beyond a trouble light, a DeWalt drill on the very last of its legs and billion razor sharp, red hot slivers of metal with an affinity for my most sensitive of regions. My joints are raw from crawling around on the concrete. I'm half deaf from the shriek of the spot weld cutter and the boom of the cold chisel and hammer.

Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal

Tue, Aug 18 2020

WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well." 

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
