If it could be put onto wheels, it could put onto a Model T. If something beefier was needed, then it could be put on the Model TT, the heavy-duty version of the Model T. While the drivetrain in both was identical, the Model TT had a heavier frame and rear axle the sum of which gave it a rating of 1 short ton. While by no means quick, it was a reliable work horse on which all manner of hefty commercial applications was applied.
This TT is outfitted as Tanker Truck and liveried in bright orange and black with green trim for the no-longer-extant Ontario, Canada based Supertest Petroleum company. Operating from 1923 until 1973, Supertest Petroleum marketed itself as "Canada's All-Canadian Company" before being acquired by British Petroleum Canada in 1971. Hung with 1925 Ontario plates, the tanker unit on this truck has three compartments, 1100 litres up front, 750 litres in the middle, and 400 in the rear. Complete with extra coachlights, and a full complement of petroliana gas cans, it is rare to find any surviving commercial vehicles from this era, let along one in condition as nice as this.

The variety of practical (and impractical) uses that Model Ts were tasked to do is virtually innumerable. If it could put it on the frame of the T, or power it with its robust engine, someone probably did it.
Case in point is this mobile music truck. When the truck was built, and for some time after that, if you wanted to listen to some tunes while on the move, about the only way to do that was to hire a band to join you on your drive—or at your destination. Recorded music was still a relatively new, and fragile, thing. The ability to listen to recorded music, outside of whatever was on the radio, while underway was all but impossible until the invention of tapes like the 8-track and the cassette.
One solution, however, was a Calliope. A virtual mobile band, it had an organ (and sometimes bells) that could play off a record in the form of hold-punched paper scrolls or pinned metal cylinders.
This T, built in the first quarter of 1916, was later fitted with a Tangley Calliope and a body made to display and advertise its music player. One of the premier makers of calliopes, the Tangley Manufacturing Company featured their exclusive Calliaphone organ pipes and could play music from recordings or on a keyboard. The unit fitted on the vehicle here, likely from the mid-1920s to mid-1930s, is just such calliope, offering automatic, recorded music or original scores to be played on the keys. It entered the collection in January of 1999.
Perfect for family outings or parades, it is a fun and exciting edition to any collection providing both driving and aural excitement!

The pinnacle and end of T production was 1927. The cars were both the most refined Ts of them all but also hopelessly outdated in the marketplace. Ford had lost its market dominance to Chevy and would shut down to retool for the Model A for 1928.
This late coupe example has all the options available in those last two years including the bright plated radiator shell and attractive wire wheels with balloon tires. A handsome example with the appealing coupe bodywork, this is a wonderful late model T.
This whimsical fish radiator topper is certainly not stock but when you live in a coastal town like San Simeon, California fish work their way into everything!

With cavernous rear storage, this Model T box truck is sure to provide plenty of utility when it comes to hauling large items. Much of the body work of this truck has been constructed out of wood. The rear box section appears particularly brilliant thanks to a lacquered finish. From the cowl forward, dark green paint covers the main section while the fenders have been finished in black. Being a utility vehicle, the interior is short on creature comforts. However, the overall condition of this vehicle can be described as good. This truck has been in the Netherlands for a good amount of time, with original registration noted as being in the late 1950's. As of 2014, the vehicle caries a modern registration card.
We carry three metal cans on the side of the Model T, one for oil, water and gas but we don't actually carry gas. It's scary enough sitting on the gas tank. :)
One of the 100yo race cars that take to the track at Latimore Valley Speedway a few times a year. The track was in operation in the 1920s and 30s. Located at the Latimore Valley Fairground next door to the Eastern Museum of Motor Racing.
Voted the most influential car of the twentieth century in an international poll.
Millions were made in both Britain and America using factory production lines, revolutionising the way cars were built.

Whole libraries have been written about this model. Some call the Ford Model T, also known as the T-Ford, the car of the 20th century.
Between 1908 and 1927 Ford built fifteen million T-Fords, thanks to it being the first car in the world to be manufactured on an assembly line. Manufacturer Henry Ford said the Model T was available “in any colour, as long as it is black”. That was on account of the time paint took to dry: black dried fastest and that meant a reduction in production time and costs. The car was affectionately known as Tin Lizzie.
This Model T Touring Car with its tufted upholstery is an early model fitted with brass radiator and lamps. The T is equipped with a number of extras offered in period, such as special suspension and brakes. An extra lever operates a kind of off-road two-speed rear axle, which essentially adds high and low gearing to the existing two-speed gearbox, to provide four forward gears and one reverse.

This exquisitely restored landaulette is a fine example of a coach-built Model T from the early brass period. The subject of a painstaking restoration to a high standard, it is a sight to behold. Wonderful woodwork, upholstery and brass work are all done with high skill and craftsmanship.
During the brass era, Ford offered chassis on a limited basis for those seeking to have their car fitted with custom coachwork. The coachwork would have exceeded the cost of the chassis many times, but a handful of custom bodied Fords were built. These were quite different from anything the factory built at this time and represent a Ford with coachwork by an outside builder.
The formal coachwork is attractive and well-proportioned for the diminutive Ford chassis. The body has beautiful lines and fine details. The folding passenger compartment has handsome landau irons supporting the top mechanism. The passenger area is exquisitely upholstered in broadcloth with brocade accents. The chauffeurs seat is fine diamond tufted leather work.
Due to the high degree of restoration, it is difficult to say with certainty how original it is, and in a way, it doesn't matter as it is so well executed. It is certainly a striking and high-quality piece and one that would make a strong impression wherever it was driven.
A lot has changed in this view over the course of time. Court Street, which would have been in the foreground, is long gone as are many of the businesses and buildings down the way between Calhoun and Harrison Streets. Starting on the left from the red bricked Courtside Building is the Old National Bank designed by Brentwood Tolan, the architect responsible for the Allen County Courthouse. The bank shuttered during the Great Depression, was razed and replaced with the two story Art Deco Walgreen's. Further down was the Sears Roebuck & Co. and the giant behind it the First National Bank (later Fort Wayne National Bank). If you squint, the Baltes Hotel is behind it. On the right, the 1902 Allen County Courthouse needs no introduction. Across the street is the Frank Dry Goods Co. and the Anthony Hotel, which was imploded in 1974 under the Van Orman name.

This vehicle spent some time in the UK prior to arrival in the collection. An old British 'V5' on file notes ownership with a Richard March of Tonbridge, and later to noted trader David Baldock as its last documented owner in 1996. It has clearly been the subject of much restoration work, taking the form of the popular Depot Hack with new wood and paint finishes.

This handsome Model T was built in the first quarter of 1914's production and fitted with the most sporting body-style available—the Runabout. With seating for only two lucky occupants, a folding top with no side windows, and a trunk area behind the seats, it was the closest thing one could get to a sportscar version of the Model T from the factory. Better yet, this T hails from the heart of the Brass Era Ts with their polished brass details including radiator shell, acetylene lighting fuel tank, and center wheel caps.
This Model T appears to have spent virtually its entire life in dry and car friendly climates of Arizona and California. According to its most recent Arizona title, it was first registered in Copperstate in July of 1914. It entered the collection of its penultimate owner in May of 1991 before becoming part of the Hartogh Collection in 1997.
Fitted with lots of extras, it has dual carriage lights up front, in addition to a carriage brake light out back. A brass auxiliary horn is present on the driver's side as is a later rear view brass rearview mirror. A painted rearview mirror is affixed to the windscreen on the other side.
Likely the subject of a restoration completed long before coming to Holland, it continues to show well thanks to regular polishing of its brass features. Its paint and woodwork are also quite presentable. It would certainly bring pride to the lucky driver where ever he or she went.

Carrying a robust, attractive wooden body and rows of bench seating, this Model T has more than enough space to tour around with many passengers. The remaining body work is finished in traditional black and additional lamps have been placed on either side of the wind screen. The vehicle was first issued Netherland's registration in 1979 and today carries a modern registration card.
