Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD. 354/40hp T-head four, Jones speedometer, New Continental clock, Gray & Davis acetylene headlights, generator, kerosene sidelights and taillight, Green wood spoke 34-inch wheels.

Condition

Paint and interior are excellent, the brass is generally very good but the control surfaces are starting to tarnish. The engine and chassis are both nearly like new. It won't take much to bring this Thomas-Detroit back to concours condition, just lots of Brasso and elbow grease.

Market commentary

This much would buy three good Model T Ford Tourers, but this Thomas-Detroit is much more than three times the car. The new owner has a car that will be proudly driven and shown on a variety of events and tours, with money left over to hire someone to brighten up the brass.
