Vintage Ford Model-T's

            A pair of finely restored vintage Ford Model-T vehicles stand side-by-side on an exceedingly wet colliery yard at Beamish Museum.

In the front centre is a 1911 Ford Model-T Town Car, UK registered R-1173. 

The "Town Car" model is the rarest, most unusual and least familiar of the Model-T Fords. These luxuriously appointed little Fords were clearly contrary to Ford's "car for masses" approach. They were specifically targeted at clients wealthy enough to employ chauffeurs to drive them. They were certainly expensive as compared to the rest of the Model-T range, but were still considerably cheaper than the competition.

Standing to the left of it is a very different Ford vehicle. It is a 1919-built Ford Model-TT tanker truck in the bright yellow livery of petroleum company Shell-Mex. The truck is registered SV 6239.

The Ford Model-TT commercial chassis was introduced by the company in 1917. It is built onto a modified and strengthened Model-T frame and has a heavy-duty rear axle. It was then left to the many body building companies at that time to construct and install all manner of commercial bodies to the chassis.
