Fossil Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 After setting for 10 years I'd imagine that battery could use a charge so the power windows would work,.😉 It is a nice looking car! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Int. looks nice, body and paint not bad other than the gash on the front fender, engine compartment leaves a bit to be desired. OBO sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I've never owned a Model T but I thought that in 1927 the T's came with wire wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a subject given to a lot of debate. Some sales literature of the era actually does say that wire wheels were standard on the sedans, and some people think also the coupes like this car. However, sales literature was written by the sales departments, while actual manufacture and procurement of parts and materials had to be handled by other departments. Production of the new type of wire wheels couldn't keep up with demand, so in reality, they were for all practical purposes an option throughout the 1926 and 1927 model years. The open cars, roadsters and touring cars, offered optional demountable rim clincher wheels just like the early 1920s (30 X 3 1/2), and even non-demountable rim clinchers in 30 X 3 1/2 rears and 30 X 3 fronts similar to the brass era cars! Here again, some era sales literature and letters to dealers indicate that those options were to be eliminated. However, era photographs and sales records indicate that cars were being sold with those archaic options right up to the final weeks of production. Not nearly perfect, but a nice looking "improved" era model T coupe! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 The buyer states the Ford is totally restored and has been sitting for years. That sounds great! From the pictures posted it looks like the restoration was done with originality in mind. So I wonder why a power window kit? That part of the description doesn't jive with the originality of the car. Maybe the seller has a disability?. An aftermarket window kit is definitely not a selling point for this car! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 From the looks of the car and restoration, I would be willing to be the power window kit term is a misprint or some other sort of mis communication. May have been something auto corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
