The 1909 Ford Model T Touring car sold for a mere $850 and weighed just 1200 pounds. It was sturdy, durable, reliable, and competitively priced. The Tin Lizzy had plenty of performance and a popularity that was hard to beat.
This car is chassis number 1400 with matching engine number. It was part of Burd's Antique Car Museum in Waterloo, Iowa for nearly 3 decades.
Chassis 1400 was similar to the first 750 cars produced, featuring the early radiator, water pump, and fenders. It did have its differences such as three pedals and one lever.
When Harry Burd closed his museum in 1959, ownership passed to Ben Snider of Riverside, California. Snider retained the car for three years before selling to the Harrah Collection in Reno, Nevada. Though the car was in good, original condition, it was treated to a complete and comprehensive restoration. When Bill Harrah passed away, ownership transferred to a Southern California resident and Model T collector. The car was in the ownership of another individual when it brought to the 2007 Gooding & Company auction held at Pebble Beach, Ca. The car's restoration still shows well though it is decades old. At auction it was offered without reserve and estimated to sell for $60,000 - $80,000. Sadly, it left the auction unsold.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
