I used Bill to transport my '37 Cadillac Convertible Sedan from St. Louis to Michigan. I was very, very happy. He is a true professional. Thanks Bill

Nothing not to love about a '26 Touring. This is a heck of a deal.

I heard they were capping the show at 850 cars. There are just a lot of us who want to go.

Anybody have any idea of when we could hear back if we were accepted?

I too received mine and the look absolutely perfect. Thanks for the excellent work.

I'm surprised this is still on the market as it looks like a good price on a good car. If I didn't already have one I'd be all over it. Best of luck with the sale.

I am embarrassed to admit that despite living only 2 hours away I have yet to visit the Piquette Ave. plant. This clearly has to change. I'm looking forward to seeing this generous donation. Thanks for what you have done for the hobby Kim.

As a fellow '13 Touring owner I would love to see some photos of your car. You are fortunate to have owned the car all these years.

If you can't get the one you have to work let me know, I might have one also.

I am looking for a specific peice of sales literature. It looks like what you see in the photos. If you happen to have one I would like to discuss it. Please contactme through the forum.

I have a '27 Fordor. I agree with the others. While the Fordor is spacious compared to my '26 Touring, it is still a tight fit for anyone approaching 6' tall. The idea of a Tudor with seats that can be moved seems like the way to go.

The color was matched from the back of the dashboard and is (we think) Fawn Gray. You just might see this one at Old Car Festival this year.

These photos are of my 27 Fordor that I inherited from my father. The first picture shows me (the little redhead boy) taking in dad's car for the first time. The second shows the car as it appears under restoration.

Here is my opinion. The two very best craftsmen with a huge amount of experience working on these cars is the father-son team of Mark and AJ Eyre in Battle Creek MI. Mark has restored 60+ Ts, with multiple AACA Grand National Senior, and National awards, a Zenith nomination and five Stynoski wins un...

My friend found and purchased a very nice 14 Touring. Thanks to all who replied. Eric

I have a friend who is looking to buy a starter equipped Touring. He'd prefer something within 5-7 hours of southwest Michigan. He likes my '26 Touring (which is not for sale) and wants something similar in terms of condition, i.e. may need a littletinkering, runs, drves, not a project. Thanks every...

I keep waiting for the $5,000 Duesenbergs to reappear as well as the $900 '11 Torpedos. Doesn't seem to be happening. This car does indeed appear to be a very good deal.

I too have used Bill Squires and would gladly do so again. Bill, so sorry your wife is facing such a difficult medical situation.

A friend has used "others" and the report was less than favorable. Buyer beware I guess.

The rust took a bit of time to appear. It is not a factory original color. That came later on Chevy Vegas!

As many readers of this forum know, I own a very early 1913 (car #152811, thus built in late 1912) that has a history dating back into the 1940s. It was a "city car" sold new in New York City. Sometime many, many years prior to my ownership the car was painted black with either a brush or possibly e...

Many of you know this already but history was made Friday as AJ Eyre became the first person to be a third generation Stynoski winner with his 1918 Touring. He did almost all of the restoration himself and wound up with a stunner of a car. My congratulations to him. FB_IMG_1721472094779.jpg FB_IMG_1...

I am looking for a valve cover for a '27. It is unique because it lacks the hole for the carb control rod (because it is a Vaporizer car). Thanks for looking.

Sending email about starter switches.

Hi all, I appreciate the responses. I will keep everyone's contact info as I may still need one more.
Thanks so much.

I am looking for nickel headlight rings for 26-27. I want the type that has the Ford script. Thanks!

Btt. How about $50 shipping included?

I have a set of dust covers for valve stems. The will need to go with metal stem tubes. They would be just the right finishing touch for a nickel era speedster. You will get everything you see in the first photo. $75.00 or best offer, US continental shipping included. Thanks! Eric Macleod 20240602_1...

Bruce, I'm not far from you, in Battle Creek, Michigan. My dad and I started the very first Modrl T driving classes at Gilmore. If you want a brush up lesson I'd be happy to do it.

Bill hauled my '37 Cadillac 70 Series Convertible Sedan from St. Louis, MO to my house in Michigan. Like everyone else here, he was on time, polite and professional. I would not hesitate to use him again.

I am knees deep in the restoration of my '27 Fordor. When I did my '26 Touring we used Dupont Centrai and wound up with about 7-8 gallons on the car. The Fordor will need more, but its more car with more surface area. My advice is if you have someone who has a great reputation (and it's pretty easy ...

Anybody interested at $100 for the pair?

I am currently restoring a '27 Ford sedan. We came across the same page of that brochure. I also was looking at a factory promotional photo and it certainly looks quite like a satin finish to me. My inclination is to copy the finish of the car in that photo. I'm looking at the finishof the fenders c...

I pulled both my '26 Touring and '27 Fordor over "the bridge" (we Michiganders rarely name it; everyone knows what you mean by "the bridge") in my 28' enclosed trailer in a 35 MPH wind. Toward the top it was a bit nerve wracking, even at only 25 MPH. I have never crossed while driving in a T but rod...

I stumbled across this while looking for another part for a front end. The correct part is officially found. I thought I would post this so if others are restoring a '26-27 Fordor they know what they are looking for.

Thanks for looking and offering this up. No. It does not look like the right part...but I wish it was.

I am a purist and make no apologies for that. Saying that I can add that I would be proud to own this car.

Mayhap I am dreaming but I'm looking for the last little detail I need for my '26 Fordor restoration, the elusive dome light switch. If you happen to have one please let me know. It looks like the photo I copied from this forum.

Thanks so much.

My apologies but the tires have been spoken for.

I posted the price reduction then got busy with work. Candidly, I simply forgot about them. Again, my apologies to anyone awaiting a response.

Eric

Anybody interested in them for $150 plus shipping?

I have five new Firestone tires sized 400/450×21.These were made i USA. Four also come with rubber stem tubes and flaps Before you get too excited, these are quite old and were HARD to dismount. I can't find date stamps on them. As such they are probably better used as either roller tires or on a sh...

I am looking for a full set of nickel wire wheel lug nuts for a 26-27. There should be 22 in the set. There usually is a special nut for the spare tire lock but I do have one of these already so it would be a nice but not necessary addition to the set. I am also willing to consider partial sets as w...

I received a thank you from a member of staff for mentoring her through some professional development. For those unfamiliar with it, this is a Franklin Mint 1913 Ford T Touring, though the model looks a lot nicer than my real car. I think she nailed the gift!

The project continues. While many of you would be well founded if you thought the project had been abandoned. It has not. Currently it is coming back the other way. Don Booth has completed the woodwork on the body and Mark Eyre painted the frame this week. The car is coming along nicely. IMG_1569.jp...

I am late to the intro party but wanted to say welcome to the world of Ts. I like your coupe. Enjoy it!

I do not see any manufacturer name on this. I too thought it would be a good speedster accessory. Thanks guys!

I am curious. Did you wind up with the car Walt?

I am curious if you landed the car Walt. I would be surprised if you got any closer to your requirements than this. A weekend with some sandpaper, primer and some black paint and you have exactly what you have been asking for.

Email sent to you.

Have any of you done business with either Eric Romero or Chris Kyle on FB. Before sending money I'm curious if they are legit. Thanks.

I would say the asking price is...um, optimistic. And 10-15 left? Apparently they are all in Michigan as I know of nearly that many right here. Also, just thinking out loud. I do agree with the others that it looks like a nice car.

I would add a location so people can think about shipping costs.

My FIRST Model T is a '26 Fordor which I consider to be a lifetime car. My other permanent keeper is my '13 Touring.

That is a very good start and a decent price.

If you still have the spark plugs I am a buyer.

Mark Eyre and I are a little perplexed. Last week he bought what appears to be a 17-18 Coupelet but some details are mysterious. Have the doors been changed? Is it a transitional car? The wood is highly intact and it appears largely original. Obviously some pictures are worth a thousand words so we'...
