1917 Ford Truck Ready Soon

Post by J1MGOLDEN » Fri Mar 12, 2021 7:51 am

Someone sent me a April 19, 1917 "Ford Truck Ready Soon" news item.

I would really like to read the whole article and don't remember who sent it to me or where it was found.

Please help, as I am buying the truck that looks just like the one in the photograph.

James

These items I posted a while ago.

Seems news releases began about April 1917 about the new TT. The release date was later, about laterJuly 1917, as the new "1918" model year, which began Aug 1. 1917. 41,105 TT chassis were built in the 1918 model year.

They were sold as 1918 models, but some states registered then as 1917.
