1909 Model T Ford Touring Car

by Gary Frenkel
(Waterford Michigan)

Built at the Piquette Plant in Detroit Michigan on June 26th 1909. She was shipped to New York state where she was owned by 2 owners for nearly 100 years. Second owner passed away in 2008 and the car was sold to two fellows who owned it for a little over a year before they offered it for sale to me. The car has been converted to electric start, but I have the original one piece oil pan and hogshead. My 1909 Model T has aluminum clad body panels and was built by the O.J. Beaudette Co. of Pontiac Michigan. Ford refered to these cars as Pontiac bodys. I display her at all my local car shows around SW Michigan and particularly like to park her next to muscle and street rods, just to be different. I treat her like a daily driver and enjoy the attention I get while driving her in busy traffic.
