1909 Ford Model T touring sedan.
I've been intrigued lately with the very early automobiles of the late 19th century and early 20th century.
As a point of interest; Ford didn't start the "any color as long as it's black" approach until 1914.

I love it Ron, One question though, I thought those were always black, did they produce red ones like you show?

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Nice, Ron. Those vintage cars looked awesome with all the brass they had.
Hi Larry,
As I stated in my comment, “Ford” didn’t start the “any color as long as it’s black” policy until 1914.
The reason for going for production of only black cars in 1914, was so Ford could greatly reduce the price of their cars, making them more affordable to the general public.
This greatly boosted Ford sales as a result.
Black paint was less expensive to use than using color paints and in many ways made production much less costly. Thus, passing on the savings to the consumer proved to be a huge success for Ford.

Thanks Ron, I did read that, still I wondered. I had an uncle that was well known for repairing or restoring those cars.(not sure which) but I think repairing, but cannot ask him because he is gone now. He was a farmer, lived in a small town.
,owned a welding shop where he mostly repaired farm machinery. I worked for him one harvest.
