Ford Model T Runabout with Side Curtains, 1924
Add to SetSummary
Even as closed cars became more popular, open Model Ts -- with convertible roofs and removable side curtains instead of glass windows -- continued to be Ford's best sellers. The company built some 223,000 closed two-door sedans in 1924, but it built more than 264,000 open two-door runabouts. Factory prices for runabouts like this one started at $260.
