1913 Ford Model T Touring Car
Add to SetSummary
The Model T had no substantial modifications over its 19-year run, but there were countless small changes. Many simply saved money. The 1913 model substituted steel for brass in the windshield frame, steering wheel and side lamps. Leatherette lined its inner door panels instead of genuine cowhide. It was also the last year for colors, beyond black, until 1926.
