2 lever 1909 at MTFCA Museum

Post by Andrew Brand » Fri Apr 24, 2020 4:47 pm

I was just doing the virtual museum tour and would like to see more info on T 394 (I think). If this is the car I'm thinking of, my father had the chance to buy it in the 1980's but had just retired and decided not to.

I can't quite read the sign on the virtual tour and there is an info sheet which I think says "The story of # 394" Does anybody have an info sheet they could scan?

I suspect this is the car you asked about, but I don't know for sure.

The Model T Museum in Richmond is privileged to have two 1909 Tourings on display -- #394 and #6413. They are both on loan thanks to Rod & Heather Barrett (#394) and Doug & Shirley Braun (#6413).

The Nov-Dec 2017 issue of the Vintage Ford features a comparison of the two 1909s. The article is shown here. If anyone wants a copy of that issue, please email: admin@mtfca.com Cost is $10, including postage.

Thank you Steve and Susan for your replies.

Steve - its always great to see photos of #220 - a car I dreamed about as a kid.

Susan - thanks for taking the time to post the VF article. I do have that issue, and was wondering whether the info sheet "The Story of # 394" had any info additional to what I already had on this car. It was offered to my father by Don Carter in the 1980's.

Andrew
