Back when motoring was motoring and we had yet to endure the horrors of Adolf Hitler. I desperately want to own an original. Note the bottom right corner November 30th 1925. So many questions. Could the owner still afford this car when the market crashed in 29? Is it a hot rod? Did it survive? One thing is for certain like every car it was the owners pride and joy. They owned an automobile

I can tell you not everyone had to endure hardship in the Depression. I know that some of my great grandparents were unaffected, the others I don't have info on.

Also driving a T makes no sense unless you already know.

It has probably long gone. It looks like an urban setting. That's not where you usually find survivors.

If you want a T, they are readily available for reasonably sensible money. Here are a few

I know a T is an extremely complicated car to drive but once you get the idea I have to assume it's very fun.

As for the Depression I agree that a good bit of people where unaffected but there is always the exemption.

And you are probably right I think 15 million were produced and there is only like 100,000 around today.

That is one of the nice things about the T classic motoring on the cheap

In those days, that T would have likely been paid off already before the market crashed.
