FJ - 1909 Ford Model T Town Car Wood Body Images Never Seen Before ?

Post by FreighTer Jim » Thu Oct 29, 2020 1:51 pm

When I visit KD - there always seems to be some treasure that can be found as a direct or indirect result.

Researching The Early Model B led to a gentlemen in Arlington, Texas who worked for “ Doc Bloom “ between 1965 and 1967.

“ Rusty “ was tasked with working to make a Ford Early Model B Wood Body out of pieces out of an original wood body found in Pennsylvania by Doc Bloom ( probably with the help of Larry Porter ).

That body was taken to Walter Heater in Michigan
by Rusty when he completed it.

It was to be copied for The Winthrop Roosevelt Early Model B - then to be copied for two other Model B’s that were also being made.

But Rusty also was working on a 1909 Model T Town Car Wood Body.

He has just started looking thru (30) file cabinets
spanning over (50) years of records and these images
emerged of what he remembers as the 1909 T Town Car Body.

He took both wood bodies when he was finished
to Walter Heater in Michigan.
