1927 was the final year for Model T production. This Roadster Pickup is an example of pre-war hot-rodding. It was modified just prior to WWII by John L. Fernato of Modesto, California and was fitted with many speed shop upgrades that were common at the time. It was later acquired and rebuilt by Vern Tardel who was responsible for the vehicle's stylish enhancements. Period upgrades include a Rajo overhead valve and a Simmons Swan intake with a Zenith downdraft carburetor. It was further enhanced with a Ruckstell two-speed rear axle and a Warford Model A three-speed gearbox conversion. Additional mechanical upgrades included an Autopulse electric fuel pump, a water pump conversion with non-pressurized radiator, a finned exhaust manifold, coil ignition, an Autolite distributor with full Bosch front plate, a Remy gear-driven generator, and a pressurized oil pump.
The body features a chopped windshield and top. There are dual side mounts, a chrome radiator surround, Studebaker 18-inch wire wheels, and a spotlight. The dashboard has two oil gauges and the original exhaust cutout.
The Roadster Pickup was a true barn find in California's Central Valley. It appears as it did when parked in 1948. It was given a new set of tires, minor mechanical work was performed, and very little else was needed. It is an untouched pre-war hot rod.
In 2013, the vehicle was offered for sale at Gooding & Company's Scottsdale, Arizona auction. It was estimated to sell for $35,000 - $45,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, it had been sold for the sum of $26,400 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
