The Model T phenomenon lasted 18 years, but by 1926 even Henry Ford had to admit that the car that ‘put the world on wheels’ had finally run out of steam. No follower of convention, he terminated T production on May 26th 1927 immediately after the 15 millionth example had rolled off the line, despite having nothing to replace it with. Henry himself directed the development of: a new longer, lower-slung chassis; a Howard Hicks-designed 3285cc, four-cylinder engine; three-speed manual transmission and novel electrical system. By the time the Model A made its debut on December 2nd, there was a backlog of 400,000 orders for a car nobody had seen!
Imported from the USA in 1992, a collection of invoices on file show that ‘DS 9967’ has since benefited from a large programme of refurbishment including the fitment of a reconditioned Snyder engine (sourced from the States), brake overhaul, uprated radiator and new kingpins, bushes, steering box, carburettor and water pump etc. Said to be in ‘first class’ condition bodily, the Ford is offered for sale with a Vintage Sports Car Club Buff Form. Model As are well proven trials cars and ‘DS 9967’ should be no different. Ready for the Lands End . . .
