Equipment
E&J acetylene headlights, kerosene sidelights, wicker umbrella holder, folding rear roof (landaulet style), fixed windshield that slides on a track up and under the drivers fixed roof, drop down windows, sliding division, jump seats, speaking tube, white tires on Red wood spoke wheels, Nonpariel bulb horn. Reproduction coachwork done to high standards and lavishly embellished in the rear with elaborately embroidered floral pattern cloth. Excellent paint, brass and wood but tarnished on the radiator and headlights from overheating without prompt attention. A few minor stress cracks but overall in exceptionally good condition. John M. OQuinn estate.
Market commentary
This would appear to be the same Model T that RM sold at Amelia Island in 2006 for $81,400 and at Meadow Brook last year for $57,750 with chassis number 3300. It may have had some problems due to the attribution of the reproduction bodywork but a measure of its inherent appeal and the early Model T chassis is the better result it brought here. A tube of Mr. Douglas and lots of elbow grease will remedy the radiator hickey and the new owner will have a fine and rare Model T to drive and enjoy. And its not Black, either.
