1921 Ford Model T Depot Hack Restoration still looks great and is ready for Parades & Rallys! Click on the arrow in the picture below to see video that

Double click on the arrow below to go to full screen. When it comes to Model T’s, 99% of those produced were right
off the production line.
Everything was standard, even the color (you could have any color as
long as it was black). For those
very few Model T’s that were not production cars, most collectors will agree
that the 1% custom bodied Model T’s are the most desirable for collecting.
The early Model T town cars that were chauffeur driven are
as rare as hen’s teeth. Probably
the next rarest type of Model T would be a Depot Hack. These were bodied by many different
body builders but they all had the same purpose and that was to haul plenty of
people and luggage from the ranch or farm home into town and very often to the
train station, back then called the depot.
Today Depot Hack’s are highly desirable and sought after by
Model T collectors that want something more unusual then a touring car or a two
or four door sedan. These Depot
Hacks are also sought after by collectors who like to load up the kids and
grandkids and take them on a most unusual ride in a Model T. There are some collectors who like to
have the Model T in their garage just to be able to go out and take a look and
feel the pride of ownership. The
really good news about a Model T Depot Hack, even though it is custom bodied
and extremely rare and a lot of fun, the prices are relatively very, very cheap
in this car collector market.
The car that you see before you was purchased by a gentleman
who bought this vehicle in the early 1970s purchased it from the man who had
bought it in 1934. In the
early 1970s the car was restored and the original body was discarded and was
rebodied into this fabulous Depot Hack and used extensively during the 1970s
and the 1980s for parades and rally’s.
The Depot Hack has been very well maintained over the years and was
always stored inside. Mileage is unknown.
As you can see from the many tour badges and parade photos
it was driven all over. Note the
photo of the eight men in the Depot Hack – you can bring all your friends along
for the fun! The gentleman who
restored this vehicle took great pride in this beauty and the care it has
received shows in the very fine condition it is still in today.
Several years ago when the gentleman who restored this car
passed away, he left the car to his very young nephew. Over the years the car has been
well maintained and stored with a very good friend who has taken great care to
exercise it and keep it in great running condition. Recently he installed a fresh battery.
We at MissChiTown love the Ford green paint with the black
bumpers that show off the beauty of the wood perfectly! A vinyl top covers the wood top. The wood seats have black
cushions. It is believed that the
original 4 cylinder engine is in this Depot Hack for sale. The manual transmission is
operated by three pedals on the floor, (the care taker of this vehicle said it
was like an early type of automatic transmission). These old Model T’s are well known for their
dependability and this one still is going strong. The caretaker says this Depot Hack is stored inside except
when it taken out to be exercised to keep it in great running condition.
We love the way the tailgate provides access to transport
the passenger’s luggage but as you can see from one parade picture it has also
been utilized to transport extra passengers. There is a visor over the windshield. The caretaker says it has a crank start
but he prefers the convenience of the electric start. The electric start may have been an upgrade by the gentleman
who restored it.
The nephew who is sadly selling this vehicle hopes that the
new owner will enjoy it and have fun taking it on rally’s and will be proud to
show it off in parades as his uncle did over the years.

Ford Focus 1.0-liter Ecoboost to only get manual trans in US
Sun, 23 Feb 2014Photos of the 2015 Ford Focus leaked earlier today, but now we're able to tell you more details of the global five-door hatchback. Bucking automaker's troubling trend of ditching manual transmissions in favor of automatics, Ford says the new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine will come only in a six-speed manual in the US, because, well, American drivers aren't as sophisticated as our European brothers and sisters.
Ford didn't come out and say it that way, but it has found American drivers are more prone to complain about automatics in smaller-engine cars, Raj Nair, Ford's group vice president of global product development, said at a press conference last week. The recent JD Power Vehicle Dependability Study backs up Ford's claims, pointing out that drivers are complaining about rough transmission shifts, engine hesitation and lack of power, particularly in small cars. In Europe and other parts of the world, drivers seem to understand the quirks of these pint-sized engines, Nair said, so they'll have the option to buy an automatic. Ford is working on tuning its dual-clutch transmissions to make them more amenable to American driver's tastes.
Ford will show off the refreshed 2015 Focus at the Geneva Motor Show in early March. The car is due for an update, having been on sale in its current form since 2012. The automaker said it is jamming the car full of new technology - like a USB port that promises to charge your phone in half the time as a regular USB port. Features like Sync and a rear back-up camera will come standard. For a more in-depth look at the car, take a look at the full press release.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
Ford looks to protect logo from Toronto mayor followers
Fri, 15 Nov 2013One is a member of the Detroit Three and the maker of the Mustang, Fusion, Explorer and F-150. The other is an admitted loudmouthed, drunk-driving, crack-smoking mayor in Canada. Unfortunately for one, it shares its name with the other. Yes, Ford Motor Company is going to great lengths to keep its iconic Blue Oval logo from being appropriated by supporters of besieged Toronto mayor Rob Ford.
At a United Way event earlier this week, some of Mayor Ford's fans showed up with shirts that featured the automaker's logo with the words "Ford Nation," on them. Naturally, Mayor Ford signed them. FoMoCo was quick to issue an unhappy statement:
"Ford did not grant permission for use of its logo. We view it as an unauthorized use of our trademark and have asked it to be stopped," spokesperson Jay Cooney said. There was also a statement from Ford of Canada's Twitter account after a user alerted the company:
