Never has a car had more of an impact on automotive manufacturing processes than Henry Ford’s famous Model T. It wasn’t his first car, but it was the one that mobilized not only Americans, but the world. Made between 1908 and 1927, the Model T sold over 15 million units. Its record would not be surpassed until the Volkswagen Beetle many decades later. Another interesting fact is, as the Model T’s production processes were streamlined and optimized, the price of the car actually reduced! For example, a Model T cost US$825 in 1908 for the Runabout variant, with the Touring being priced at $850. By 1924, when this 1924 Ford Model T Touring was released, the Runabout was priced at $265! Being a Touring, this car would have cost a little more, but definitely less than $300. Isn’t that amazing? This particular car appears to have undergone a full restoration which is necessary when you consider that it’s over 100 years old! Now, it’s available in Longmont, Colorado.
Eschewing Henry Ford’s famously rigid paint choices of black and only black, this 1924 Ford Model T Touring enjoys a nice red coat of paint that showcases its vintage lines in a nice manner. You can see how spartan cars were back then, little more than motorized horse carriages of sorts. With its open body, canvas top and wooden wheels, this is period motoring at its best, and yes, entire families did get around with this machine. The interior of this 1924 Ford Model T Touring is equally spartan. There’s no climate control, infotainment system or even windows of any sort! You’ve got bench seats, a wood-rimmed steering wheel, three pedals and some levers. But none of the pedals do what you expect them to! Driving a Model T is an art form because it’s got different controls to modern-day cars, including a steering wheel-mounted throttle! Yes, you need to practice a bit but it’s pretty easy to get to grips with.
Powering this 1924 Ford Model T Touring is a 177-cubic-inch (2896cc) naturally aspirated inline four-cylinder engine producing approximately 20 horsepower. Fuel is delivered through a single updraft carburetor, a simple and serviceable design that contributed to the Model T’s legendary reliability. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a two-speed planetary transmission, operated via pedal controls rather than a conventional gear lever. Starting is performed via hand crank, a defining feature of the era that connects driver and machine in a way modern cars simply cannot replicate. Lightweight construction and modest output make for a relaxed, deliberate driving experience, perfectly suited for appreciating the engineering breakthrough that forever changed the automotive world.

Henry Ford’s crowning glory, the Ford Model T not only revolutionized mobility, but the way cars are made. This was the vehicle that led to modern assembly line and mass standardization techniques of auto manufacturing that are the backbone of today’s automotive factories. Introduced in 1908, over 15 million were sold by the time the Model T was retired in 1927. Also, it was one of those rare cars where the price actually reduced as time went on – due to the production optimizations of course. It’s said that in 1908, a Model T runabout cost US$825, whereas by 1927, it had dropped to US$ 360! However, finding a Model T today isn’t that easy because they weren’t exactly preserved. After all, we’re talking about a car that’s over a century in most cases. An example like this 1924 Ford Model T Truck that you can buy from California right now. It’s of the truck body style and is the perfect vintage car to own if you’re brave. Why brave? Well, let us tell you.
If you’re not too fussed by vintage cars being true to period correctness, why not check out a Hot Rod? These are vehicles that have been customized to a great degree, retaining only a portion of their original persona, but augmenting and enhancing it with modern features. Take this 1927 Ford Hot Rod as a prime example. It’s based on a 1920s Ford, but has been extensively customized into what you see here. With a new engine, modern mechanicals, and some upgrades all over, it’s definitely a head-turner to behold. Plus, it’s got only over 6,300 miles to its name and currently waits in Texas.
Ford’s 1932 line-up comprised three variants, with the Model B offering a more frugal four-cylinder variant to the range. Today’s 1932 Ford Model B 5-Window Coupe Hot Rod is as far removed from that mien as possible. It’s a fine custom hot rod job from Port Orange and comes to you in bright red, no less. Gone is the old, wheezy four-cylinder unit and in its place is a proper 350ci V8 from arch-rivals Chevrolet, plus an automatic gearbox. An aftermarket exhaust system is also present, allowing the car to make a statement. On the inside, you’ll find a similarly custom affair, and with just 17,752 miles on the whole thing, this is one curio you really shouldn’t scroll past without considering.
The sky is not the limit when going about restomodding a classic car, and while that does sound like an appealing statement, it is also scary. There are many ways you could go about turning a classic that has weathered years of existence into something that can truly take away from what it is, into something that is unrecognisable. There is a rare occasion that a restomod is done right, and we have one of those instances taking shape with this 1956 Ford F-100 Restomod.
Grew up watching Wacky Races and want a car that looks like one of them Warner Bros cartoon creations? This Hugger Orange 1932 Ford Model B Roadster Highboy Hot Rod from Scottsdale, Arizona fits the bill to a tee. Up for grabs with under 1,300 miles on the clock since a massive rebuild, this thing started off as your typical Ford Model B over seven decades ago. Now, it’s decked out with a full custom interior, a GM Performance 350 high output V8, an automatic gearbox and so much more to admire and appreciate. If you want a hot rod that will make other hot rod owners stop and stare, this car is it!
