1920 Ford Model T Roadster " A True American Icon & Collectible Classic
Step back in time with this 1920 Ford Model T Roadster, a remarkable example of one of the most historically significant automobiles ever built. The Model T, affectionately known as the "Tin Lizzie," was the car that put America on wheels, and this beautifully preserved Roadster version embodies the spirit of early motoring, innovation, and Ford's legacy of mass production.
By 1920, Henry Ford's revolutionary moving assembly line had already transformed the automotive world. The Model T wasn't just a car-it was a symbol of innovation, durability, and accessibility. The Roadster model, being one of the sportier configurations, was popular among young drivers and rural travelers, offering a lighter body and open-top motoring that captured the carefree spirit of the era.
Powered by Ford's dependable 20.5hp 4-cylinder engine, this Model T uses the iconic planetary transmission-controlled by floor pedals-offering two forward speeds and one reverse, a hallmark feature of early Ford engineering. Known for their ruggedness and ability to handle unpaved roads, these engines and transmissions helped build Ford's reputation for reliability and simplicity.
This particular vehicle has not been started in approximately three years, but it was a solid running example before storage. With basic recommissioning, it holds strong potential to return to operational condition or serve as a fantastic display piece for collectors, museums, or Model T enthusiasts.
