01

Artifact Overview

This cutaway was constructed in the workshops of Agencia Ford Stabile, a Ford distributor in Rosario, Argentina. It was assembled using miscellaneous Model T components from several different years (the engine block is 1922) -- amply demonstrating the interchangeability of Model T parts. It was exhibited in the distributor's showroom and at automobile shows in order to better familiarize Argentineans with the Model T.
