Henry Ford's Model T
Our Journey Begins
My journey into Henry Ford's Model T began in early 2003. I made the decision to buy one of these early automobiles and placed an inquiry on the web.
I located a 1918 touring car near Tulsa, Oklahoma. It ran, drove, and appeared to be in good condition.
We met the seller in Little Rock, Arkansas, made the purchase, and headed back towards home the next day.
