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 The cars were both the most refined Ts of them all but also hopelessly outdated in the marketplace.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.
I'm guessing this was taken around 1917 in Montgomery County, Ohio near Union. I note a dog in the front seat.

The car shown in the museum is probably the best proof of the Ford T “universality”: it could be really ordered with those optional and specifications more useful for buyers.
This is certainly one of the first example of a car that could be driven safely on the snow, by replacing, in a few minutes and by a few tools, the front wheels with two practical skis. During the Model “T” 19 years of production, not less than 5.000 different kinds of optional were offered: from the ones for the engine (several types of ignition and carburettors) to the ones for the other mechanical parts (more or less comfortable suspensions, radiator leather or fabric cover) to the ones for the passenger’s comfort (different interior materials, several heating systems).

Had a bit of time on my hands just lately, so had a rummage through the garage, I'd almost forgotten about this ;-)
A quick oil down and check over yesterday, it rides like the wind !
Just need to sort out a period saddle now, and prepare the plate for sigwriting.

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!

For serious collectors, the Coupelet has long been one of the rare and elusive Fords. Ford was building a huge number of cars in this period, but few of them were Coupelets. They are one of the anomalies in Ford production as they were a bit too expensive and complex to be successful models, and their scarcity and charm has made them great for ford collectors.
Developed as an all-weather convertible coupe, it offered fully open driving but transformed into a fully sealed coupe with glass side windows. This was an uncommon style and was unheard of for a car at this price range. The transformation was a bit cumbersome and the complexity added considerably to the selling price. However, the complexity did make for a fine and distinctive looking car. No other Ford of this period resembles the Coupelet and it is immediately recognizable as a special Ford.
This fine example of an original 1915 Coupelet appears to have been the subject to a good restoration some time ago. The car has held up well and has primarily been displayed since that time. The restoration is accurate with some liberties taken in the decision to leave some of the bodywork bright wood instead of black. Besides this aesthetic choice, it appears to be a fine example of a very rare early Ford model.

All Model T's have a 2.9 litre 4 cylinder in line 20hp engine with an absolute top speed of 45 mph.
Forget that bug eyed one trick pony the Volkswagen Beetle, the Model T is the most iconic and influential automobile of the 20th century.
I'm a huge fan of the iconic Model T and any one of the numerous variants is certainly on my powerball garage bucket list.
Excellent 'veteran car' spot my regular photostream contributor David on his travels and the photograph is posted here with very kind permission.

This Model-T Coupé rolled off the assembly line at the Highland Park factory Michigan in 1927, the 19th and final year of Model-T production. Originally painted in black (yes it really was and not the Henry Ford cliché) it somehow during intervening years became green...
Seen at the Henry Ford Museum at Dearborn Michigan in 1996.
I think Ford are up to around 350,000,000 vehicles at the moment including the 25 or so i've owned..

The RB is a huge 103 year old perfectly functional antique - and a sophisticated high speed (1/10 - 1/1000 sec shutter) reflex camera with moving mirror.
It winds up like a grandfather clock and smells of wood, leather and the odour of an entire century.... also it will never ever need a battery.........

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.
