1913 Ford Model T Cross Section Diagram

Summary

For 1913, the Model T's brass windshield frame and side lamps were changed to steel, and synthetic leatherette replaced real leather on the inner door panels. The substitutions saved money which, in turn, allowed Ford Motor Company to reduce sales prices on its vehicles. Total production exceeded 170,200 cars in 1913, and Touring cars started at $600.
