The Transition
Here is a rather ironic
photo of a 1924 Ford Model T Touring identical to
the one I restored stopped besides a farm house while
two men speak to the driver. One holds the bridle of a
horse not realizing that Henry Ford's
automobile will reduce horseback riding to a sport in a
few short years instead of the necessity it was.
A close
examination of the enlarged picture shows no
embellishment to the car. In 1924 it was delivered in
black, with black spoke wheels and no chrome to shine or
brass to polish. It just had brushed nickel hubcaps and
black painted spoke wheels. The license plate in the
photo is a Massachusetts issue. The kerosene side lights
were standard on a non starter car, though they could be
ordered as an accessory.
