Description
1926 Ford Fordor Sedan Model T.
This vehicle is still running with the original engine that came off the assembly line in May of 1926. Original price of this 1926 Fordor Sedan was 675.00, came with a 20 horsepower 4 cylinder engine with a top speed of 45 miles per hour, planetary transmission (no gearshift lever) that you shifted with pedals. Twelve months after this car was built the Model T was dead, gone forever. Henry Ford closed the factories for six months in preparation of the brand new Model A Ford witch came out in December of 1927. The current owner of this vehicle found this car in the town of Lake Grove, close to the city of Stonybrook on Long Island, New York.
This 1926 Ford retains all of the original factory stock accessories. The body is hand made with all wooden frame and outside metal panels attached with nails that are hidden under the trim beading.
Painted in original and authentic Highlands Green body with black fenders. A myth is that all Model T fords were painted black, they came in colors from 1908 to 1914 and then were all painted black into 1925. The last two years, 1926 and 1927, they again were available in colors.
Of the 15 million Model Ts produced from 1908 to 1927 a very small percentage of them were produced as Fordors and very few exist today. This particular Model T has undergone a complete body off restoration about 10 years ago with the engine, transmission and all running gear completely rebuilt.
