Overview of 1926 Ford Model T Roadster For Sale by Owner

Henry Ford revolutionized motoring for millions of Americans with the Model T. No, we’re not exaggerating, around 15 million were made during its 1903-1927 production run. As well as providing cheap and convenient transport to the masses, the Model T also brought about the modern automotive assembly line as we know it. Thanks to the ingenuity of Henry Ford and his engineers, the price of a Model T steadily fell, rather than rose, as the years rocked on. Today, you can still find a Model T, such as this 1926 Ford Model T which is for sale with some extra parts and manuals included. So, if you want the ultimate vintage car, and something that will truly make you appreciate how far the American automobile has come in the past century or so, this car is the place to start. It’s also perfect for showing your digital-device-toting kids what the past was like well before the word computer became mainstream.

Exterior and Interior

Fondly known as the Tin Lizzie, it’s not hard to see why. This 1926 Ford Model T in its red coat of paint shows that early motoring was rather spartan. The car rocks wire wheels and a black convertible top, plus an externally-mounted spare wheel. Note how even with the top up, the sides are exposed You’ll also note how good this car looks, no doubt it’s seen plenty of TLC. The interior of this 1926 Ford Model T comes with a single bench seat upholstered in black leather. You’ll note a steering wheel with some controls on the steering column, a gear shifter, another lever, and three pedals. But these aren’t your typical Clutch, Brake, Throttle. In fact, their purpose is indicated by letters on the pedal rubbers – C, R and B. Driving a Model T isn’t the same as your modern automobile and we’re not going to get into that here. Suffice to say, watching one of many YouTube videos on how to drive a Model T will be far better. Also, you’ll notice a neat little water temperature gauge atop the radiator, and it’s visible from the driving seat. That’s important to ensure that the engine isn’t overheating, because the only gauge inside the car itself is an ammeter. A true lesson in simplicity, the Model T. There isn’t even a speedometer, so you’ve got to gauge your speed by the seat of your pants, basically.

Engine

This 1926 Ford Model T has got a 177ci four-cylinder engine driving the rear wheels via a 2-speed planetary gear transmission and a split axle design. You don’t have power steering or power brakes – neither had been invented at the time, so you’ve got to be focused when driving this car. Braking is via a transmission brake, actuated by the brake pedal. This is a car that can make 20mph seem positively thrilling!
