1919 Ford Model T Coupe, Henry Ford's Personal Car

Summary

Henry Ford was particularly fond of this Model T -- so much so that he drove it for ten years. The car was rebuilt periodically with new parts, as when the engine and chassis were replaced in 1927. Special features include a "rain vision" green glass visor, gray-green striped velour upholstery, and a tool and luggage compartment in the rear deck.
