Just saw this on FB. I like it, but all my space is filled with other projects I'll never finish.:)

I see no need for it. Would have to have a special top made and driveshaft if needed. Must have been made for the tallest person ever born to ride in the back seat. Or possibly for short people to sleep in the back? There is no center seat or center doors. Maybe you could put a backward facing seat between front and back?

Looks like the ad says it has two seats facing each other in the back. Looks like a party wagon 🙃

The owner probably won’t get back the time and parts to build it. He would do better by parting it out. BUT finding a buyer will be the big question. But there is always one in a big enough crowd. I guess>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>?

I like to give rides during the summer from our local museum. A three seat touring would be great for such things. If I ever came across such a car closer to home I'd be sorely tempted.

FWIW - we used to have a small company near use that produced stretch limos....unfortunately they sold out and moved about a decade ago. I bet they would have found a Model T job attractive and a lot simpler than their normal work.
