This 1916 Ford touring car was produced on February 29th of 1916 and has been in the private collection of the late Mike Miller of Sheboygan Wisconsin since 1967. This is a 100% complete and unmolested Model T that is a strong runner with solid original sheet metal and excellent original wood framing. It is a strong candidate to drive as-is or an excellent candidate for restoration. The fenders, hood ,hubcaps and seat upholstery are the original issue material. A top and seat seat kit are included with the car for those interested in restoration. Period accessories include a Corbin Brown speedometer, belt driven water pump and KW shock absorbers. The lights have been upgraded to the 1915 brass trimmed examples. The engine starts easily and runs smoothly on battery. The magneto is not currently functioning and will need recharging.
