Fords Open Runabout Speedster was created in response to the customized Ford Model T that arrived in Seattle on June 23rd of 1909. It was a stripped-down, minimalistic vehicle that had finished the Guggenheim-sponsored Transcontinental Endurance Run in 23 days after leaving New York City. Ford's Open Runabout had a lowered stance and relocated fuel tank. To race-minded individuals, Ford offered its Model T as a bare chassis, ready for customization.
This Model T Speedster was built in the spirit of competition. This car is the work of Greg Gouveia of San Luis Obispo, California, founder of The Brassworks company. Mr. Gouveia has built 20 examples of the Model T Speedster, using genuine pre-1915 Model T frames and engines, as well as original Ford transmissions, axles and brakes. The engine features the 26/27 model year updates with oversized, forged aluminum pistons, a polished and ground crankshaft, and new Babbitt bearings. The tail lamp is kerosene-fired and the headlights are traditional carbide-burning units that are equipped to be fed by the addition of either a carbide generator or pressurized acetylene bottle.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2012
