1927 ford model t - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. Streetsideclassics. Comoptions:vinyl interior,manual convertible topdescription:the ford model t has been a mainstay of the old car hobby for more than 100 years, and there's no sign that enthusiasm for the tin lizzie is waning. With an older restoration, this model t is one of those cars that's got great patina and works the way it should. By 1927, henry was allowing more than just basic black, and the dark green finish with black fenders is a timeless look that ideally suits the upright ford. A plated radiator shell (a little rough) and matching headlight rings give it an authentic 1927 look, and accessories include a side mirror, bumpers, and a cover for the spare tire, complete with ford script logo. Basic black leatherette is what all open model ts received and it's got a period-correct look with pleats and buttons. Door panels are brutally simple swatches of cardboard and leatherette with small cutouts for the door handles. Floors remained wood, along with much of the body's framing, and the dash was still a simple affair with just controls for the ignition system and an ammeter (even a speedometer was optional!), although there's an accessory boyce moto-meter out on the radiator to keep an eye on temperatures. Overhead, there's a tan canvas folding top with a glass rear window that's showing some age but still looks nice and gives the t a more impressive look. Most of that is due to the good low-end torque and smart gearing, and once it's in high gear, this t is happy to cruise at 35 mph without complaints. The block is finished in black engine enamel with a correct updraft carburetor that's still fed by gravity to keep things simple. A standard coil ignition system lives in that box atop the cylinder head and later ts like this feature a water pump (early cars were thermosiphon) so it's happier in traffic. The chassis is in good order and shows black running gear and a reproduction exhaust system with just the right sound. Model ts still used 2-wheel brakes, but they're more than adequate for the car's modest performance. Handsome wire spoke wheels are painted cream to match.
