ericmac Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Okay, so the barn was in fact a pole barn, and I have known the car for several years, I did find it parked in a barn the day I picked it up. The car is a mostly original 1913 Ford Model T. It was found by my friends Mark and Phil Eyre in the Detroit area. It was an in-town car from new and came equipped with a nifty Presto-Lite gas lamp system. It has original style side lamp brackets, piano-hinge style windshield and a radiator with a data tag number that matches the numbers on the dashboard. While the engine has been replaced with a 1919 engine, I have an original 1913 engine to install. It will probably be restored some day but for now sure looks neat as is. If I can get the photo to upload I will allow you to feast your eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 51Pontiac Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Get it running and drive it like it is and enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericmac Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 I drove it home! And I took it to the Model T driving school at the Gilmore Car Museum, about 20 miles from my house. It ran and drove great. So far I have driven the car about 65 miles (since I got it Thursday) and it is a real honey. The more I drive it the better it goes down the road. 51 Pontiac has my intentions exactly right-drive and enjoy as is for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
