1912 Ford Model T Speedster

This Model T is believed to be a 1912 chassis, although it appears that a 1922 engine, not all that different from the original, is presently installed. While the date of its construction is unknown, the car is period-correct in all details, including its charming brass lamps, a racing-style radiator shell, a tied-down hood, and a pair of curved bucket seats with the famous oval tank and square-section rear behind. The car has dual rear-mounted spares in similar fashion to Simplex speed cars and racing Thomases of the time. The car rides on white rubber wheels which are also period correct.
