Re: NATIONWIDE SINGLE CAR TRANSPORT, OPEN OR ENCLOSED

Wow, this guy is the real deal! I bought a barn find unrestored 1916 Model T touring car in Miami, Florida and needed transport to metro Detroit. I read good things about Bill so I booked him: and all the positive reviews were absolutely spot on! Bill is one of the nicest people I’ve ever dealt with...

That’s awesome John; thanks! Do you also happen to have a pair of decent black headlight rims for a ‘16 T?

WTB Black 1916 lamp trim

I’m looking for black tops and doors for the 1916 model t side lamps as well as black headlight rims. The bodies of my side lamps are fine, I’d like to swap out the incorrect parts for black parts but if I have to buy the entire side lamps so be it.

Re: Oil lamp tops

Very interesting! The lamps I’m referring to also have no patent dates or names on the bottom of the oil fonts. The car, which is a December 1915 build, (which I know is a 1916, and supposed to have all black lamp trim) is an unrestored, original touring car once owned by the late Steve Coniff. He b...

Oil lamp tops

Did Ford ever use unmarked brass tops during the 1915 production era? Would these tops have been replacements?

Re: Duplex universal tire carrier

Interesting, thanks for clearing that up Frank! I was hoping it would attach to the side of the car, since I have a ‘16 touring with Demountable’s and I don’t have the rear tire carrier. And one won’t work on this car because of the tail lamp location. What I really need is the carrier below the Dup...

Duplex universal tire carrier

Is anyone familiar with this particular spare tire carrier? I’m wondering how it would attach to T and if it would hold a Demountable tire?

WTB set of Demountable wheels

Does anyone have a nice set of 30 x 3.5 clincher type Demountable wheels they would part with? A set of five would be nice, but four would be fine too.
