Wicker Model T

Post by WayneJ » Fri Mar 27, 2020 6:08 pm

On the Bamboo Model T thread, someone requested photos of the "Wicker Model T". Here are some photos that I took last summer on Prince Edward Island.

Wow! That is some great body weaving.
When did I do that?

And...those spiral wicker wheel discs must look hypnotic when rolling along, bet it scares cats and dogs :o

Thanks, WayneJ, for the pictures.

I thought I had some from Old Car Festival a couple years ago but can't find them.
My other car is an Amish Drag Buggy.

We are the proud owners of The Basket Case. It has it’s own Facebook page; if you search there for @TBasketCase you can find lots of pictures, videos, and the rest of the story. There are videos of the wheels also.

At the Old Car Festival, we found that the wheel covers on each side didn’t “turn the same way” so we moved them at night so the effect was synchronized!

The Lloyd Flanders company still makes wicker products in Menominee. I doubt they’ve made anything else as neat as the wicker T.
