The robust and reliable Model T was a good platform on which to construct a variety of auto bodies. Whether as a sporty speedster or a more practical depot hack, the universal applicability of Ford’s Flivver ensured its ubiquity in American society. The depot hack variant featured an open wooden body with multiple seats and room to carry the whole family.

This alluring 1913 Ford Model T Depot Hack is powered by its correct 177-cid inline four-cylinder engine that is backed by a two-speed planetary gear transmission. Options on this extremely rare machine include leather interior, speedometer, clock and brass gas headlights. The wood panels on both sides and rear are reported as original. Wood spoke wheels, carriage-style cowllights, carriage-style taillight, brass radiator shell and brass horn are also onboard. From the leather diamond-tuck upholstery to the fabulous brass fittings, this is a marvelous Model T for the discriminating Ford collector.
