1915 Ford Model T Tourer

  • Chassis Number: 726501
In September of 1914, Ford began production of their 1915 Model Ts. The most noticeable styling changes were a flared scuttle and curved rear wings that flowed with the arch of the wheel. The largest mechanical innovation for the new Model T's were the option of electric lighting for the headlamps. These were powered by the engines low-tension magento.

1915 was the year that Ford ceased to offer optional colors. There was just one color and it was black because the paint dried more quickly. Some of the dealers side-stepped this 'only black' rule by painting them in brighter colors once they arrived from the factory. That is what happened with this Mint Green example. This car has a brass radiator; cars after 1916 had a painted radiator. It is fitted with Touring coachwork and is one of 244,181 units sold.

This car has an older restoration that still shows well today. It was offered for sale at the 2007 Bonhams Important Sale of Collectors' Motorcars and Automobilia at the Quail Lodge Resort & Golf Club where it was sold for $7,000 plus premium and tax.
