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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online

Wed, Jun 25 2014

Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.

Obama to herald auto industry turnaround from idled Ford plant

Tue, Jan 6 2015

President Barack Obama will tout the recent successes of the American auto industry in a speech on Wednesday. This would be a fine and dandy plan aside from two small hitches. First, the president is visiting Ford's Wayne, MI factory, which is rather strange considering the government bailed out the company's local rivals, Chrysler and General Motors. Even more worrying, considering the topic of the speech, is that the Wayne facility has been idled due to a lack of demand. According to The Detroit News, the White House said the speech will focus on "the workers in the resurgent American automotive and manufacturing sector now that the auto rescue has been completed and the decision to save the auto industry and the over one million jobs that went with it." Wayne Assembly employs some 5,100 Michiganders when its lines are up and running, but as gas prices have plunged below $2 per gallon in some areas over the past month, its fuel-efficient products – the Focus and C-Max – have seen their sales plummet, as well. In December, the Focus' year-over-year sales were down 4.4 percent, while the C-Max dipped 3.3 percent, Ford told The News. Lagging sales for the two compacts aren't a new thing, though. Focus sales in all of 2014 were down 6.4 percent, while the C-Max struggled with a 21.6-percent drop last year. According to The News, Ford made the decision to idle the factory before being approached by the White House. Considering that, we wonder what the team at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was thinking when it selected the Ford facility, and what impact the location will have on the president's message.

Ford recalls 9,900 vehicles across two campaigns

Tue, Dec 29 2015

Ford is recalling a total of 9,885 vehicles in two campaigns. The Basics: In one recall, Ford will recall 9,017 examples of the 2013 Escape with build dates from January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and the 2013-2014 Focus ST produced between May 3, 2012, and October 14, 2013. The Problem: Splices in the engine wiring harness might not have enough compression, and this can cause the manifold absolute pressure sensor to send incorrect signals to the powertrain control module. This issue could cause the engine to stall. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the current crimped splices with new splices, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If You Own One: The repair campaign will begin on January 4, 2016. More Information: Ford recalled the 2013 Escape and Focus ST in August 2014 for the same problem, and this is an expansion of that campaign, according to company spokesperson John Cangany to Autoblog. The Basics: In the smaller of the two campaigns, Ford will recall 868 examples of the 2013 Explorer, Explorer Police Utility, Taurus, Taurus Police Interceptor, Flex, Lincoln MKS, and MKT. The Problem: The fuel delivery module can crack, which would cause a fuel leak. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: Dealers will replace the fuel delivery module. If You Own One: Owners should receive notice soon because NHTSA's report says the recall begins in December. More Information: According to Cangany, this recall is an expansion of a campaign from 2013 for these vehicles. RECALL Subject : Engine Wiring Splices may cause Stall Report Receipt Date: DEC 02, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V813000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Potential Number of Units Affected: 9,017 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD ESCAPE 2013 FORD FOCUS 2013-2014 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2013 Escape vehicles manufactured January 11, 2012, to April 1, 2013, and 2013-2014 Focus ST vehicles manufactured May 03, 2012, to October 14, 2013. Insufficient compression in the engine wiring harness splices to the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor may provide incorrect signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). CONSEQUENCE: The incorrect signals could cause the vehicle to hesitate or the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
