A super rare and evidently unknown original!

This thread should come complete with a drool cup.
Beautiful!!!

Bob,

Thanks for sharing this slice of history.

Bob, If it wouldnt be too much trouble, a few pictures of the linkage & mechanism for the 2 lever set up would be great.

What’s its engine number?

What a treat to see this in detail !! Thank you much for posting all the great pix !!

Very interesting. I saw one, in Orange County Ca. many years ago, but unfortunately, I didn't look at the pedals and later found out it was a two pedal after we had left that location.

Arron Crandle??

Thanks so much Bob for sharing this amazing piece of history. Great to see it gets driven! I am fortunate to have a 2 lever T nearby me in very similar original condition to the one in your post. It is a pleasure to study it as all the parts are so different event to the production 09 parts. They truly were an evolving almost prototype. The owner is very fortunate to have such an early piece of Ford history.

Thank you for that, Bob. Someone did a lot of work polishing up all that brass. Nice to see the car being driven.

Great car, and photos. Thank you for posting.

Glad you all enjoyed, I will ask Aaron about the number, sorry no pictures of linkage, he only takes this out very few times a year, if you look in the Restoration handbook this car is in there with Less Henry standing by it, Bob

Beautiful!

Yes Aaron Crandahl, Bob

Am I correct the 2nd lever has to do with reverse?

Very nice car!
It looks to me, that could be a slightly later 1909 body.
The very earliest bodies have some differences I don't see in this body.

Pete, the body number is 11551.

It was a real treat to see this in detail.

Bob,

Thanks for sharing, it’s a beautiful piece of history and very enjoyable taking the journey in the way back machine aka time machine.

Thank you for taking the time to share so many pictures of details. This is a great machine indeed.

Thanks for sharing those great photos of this unique vehicle.
I wonder if any ever made it to Australia... now that'd be a find..

Tony - a T arrived in Sydney in early 1909 and given the arrival date and likely shipping time, there's a good chance it was a 2 lever car. As for what became of it - I wish I knew!

It is not OZ, but here is one that got to NZ:
