Re: Tony Wiltshire - RIP
When I first met Tony, I found him to be a rather gruff and hard-shelled Brit. To put it politely, he was unwavering from his opinion and confident in his knowledge. But I also knew he had a heart of gold and was one thousand percent committed to making the Model T Museum the absolute best it possib...

Here is an exploded view of the Model T Sidelight with more information on the various components of the early and late Sidelight Assembly, including part numbers. Rick ...

History: On March 18, 1921, the Mount Bethel Volunteer Fire Company of Warren Township, Somerset County, New Jersey paid $598 for a TT Ford Truck. The volunteers made a body for the truck from donated wood. The iron fittings and rails were made and bought from a local blacksmith. The truck was pain...

Vintage Ford 55-5 Sep-Oct 2020 Correction
On page 11, the top photo incorrectly dates the cars as coming from a 1919 catalog. That is impossible, as two of those models were discontinued by that time! Those are all early 1917 models. Thanks to "Original Smith" for catching this typo. The 1917 Ford Sales catalog was published in 1916 and fe...
