Terry Wiegand Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 As a bona-fide Buick enthusiast I know almost next to nothing about the real early model Fords. I have known for several years now where there is a Model N or R or S. I was told that it was a 1906 or 1907. As far as I know the car is fairly complete. It is an original condition car that has been stored inside for decades. I very possibly might have the opportunity to get this car. My question(s) are these: What years were the models N, R, and S? The big question is - what is something like this worth? I might be able to post some photos at a later date, but, I do not have any at this time. I appreciate all the help you Ford guys can send my way.Terry Wiegandterrywiegand@prodigy.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 To give you a short and simple answer, the Models N, R and S were built between 1906 and 1908. All three models are built on the same chassis, the main difference is the body design and wheel size. The Model S was built primarily in late 1907 and 1908 as a runabout and a roadster. The S roadster is probably the more desirable of the variations- it has a scuttle cowl, longer fenders, short running boards, a lower body and a rear "mother in law" seat. The Model N came out first in 1906, it is the most basic looking with a two passenger seat, small, pointed rear deck and short, wing-like fenders with buggy style step plates (no running boards). The Model R in 1907 or thereabouts. The Models N and R are runabouts but the bodies vary a bit. The engines, frames, front and rear ends, radiators, etc are basically the same for all three models. In terms of value, a show car could be upwards of 70K and a project that needs a complete restoration could 20K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Wiegand Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Thank you for the information. As I said earlier, I am not a Ford person. Something just told me that this might be worth looking into. I will post photos when I can get them taken.Terry WiegandSouth Hutchinson, Kansas America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
