There is no car more versatile than the Ford Model T. When new, it could be bought as just about anything, from a racy speedster to a luxurious town car. There were two- and three-seater roadsters, open tourers, saloons, coupés and woodies, not to mention various types of vans, pick-ups and light buses which were game-changing for farmers and small businesses. That is to say nothing of the Model Ts that ended up being converted for highly specialised applications, from tractors to railcars.
Their historic versatility translates well into the modern-day preservation hobby. Depending on your choice of T, you could have an affordable entry into Veteran Car Club tours, a competent hill-climber for Vintage Sports-Car Club trials, or one of the most useable older vehicles in the Historic Commercial Vehicle Society. With so many spare chassis and engines still to be found in America, you even have the option of building a hot rod without harming an original vehicle and racing it with the Vintage Hot Rod Association. Then, for those who love the T in all its forms, the Model T Register of Great Britain has been providing for enthusiasts since 1960.
