Vehicle Detail
THIS AUCTION IS FOR (1) 1923 FORD T-BUCKET. -MILES OF SMILES- In 1999, I purchased this vehicle, which was partially assembled and started over. It was taken down to the frame and totally rebuilt. Unbeonounced to me, what the fruits of my labor would produce. Wheather it was just going simply for gas, or to a show or just for a cruise, it ALWAYS draws attention. From children seeing it as a life size hot wheels to senior citizens remembering when MODEL T's were new. It seemed everywhere I drove this car it put smiles on everyones face! I've taken pictures of admirers with there cameras standing by the car. People are awed when the see it. For women, they just love the color & the guys enjoy the looks, the sounds and the attitude. It just seems to make many people smile. Hence "Miles of Smiles". This car has been WELL MAINTAINED for over 10 years, GARAGE KEPT & COVERED. The reason for selling this car is - so that I can have a down payment for a house. As life goes on priorities change. I never regreted owning this car, I always had fun and it definately got a LOT OF ATTENTION - she never let me down. All this beautiful car needs is a new owner that wants the same.
