1908 Ford Model T Chassis
01
Artifact Overview
The Ford Model T's chassis was built to take punishment from the poor roads in America circa 1910. It was light and flexible, designed to bend rather than break with each bump and jolt. Customers had the option of purchasing just the chassis and powertrain. They could either source a body from a separate coachbuilder or make their own.
