My dads father has been gone for some time now..and I have been a very buisy person, so needless to say I didnt go thru some of the things he gave to me in his will. I brought down the box from up in the attic because my wife is wanting to have a garage sale and low and behold what i found 2 cool cast iron (very heavy) Ford T and A models and a Lincoln, Ford, Fordson Authorized Dealer Buisness card from 1929 From the Dalrymple-Moreley Company on Mack Ave at Van Dyke Michigan It lits all the prices for the cars available at that time and a fordson tractor too..hope everything loads well so you can read it. Just some cool history
Neat stuff! Those cast iron models are very interesting. As for the Fordson, "Prepare to meet thy God". They were notorious for flipping over backwards on hard pulls. And because they were a worm-drive rear, you were in the hot seat while driving, as the seat was directly over the worm itself.
Neat card, but the 1929 may be out of place, those are T prices. Note that they are playing up the "Lowered" chassis, the 26-27 T's had dropped spindles that slammed the front end about 3/4 inch lower than the 1925's. Also 1926 was the first year since 1913 that Ford offered a color other than black.
I think you got something there. the T Chassis for $335.00 Maybe he got the cast iron cars from the dealership when buying a car in 1929? Mistery..Maybe the HAMB knows. what was the price say like for a Tudor in 1929? a bit of trivia as it turns out. And i dont think ford called the Tudor a coach in 1929 they just called it a Tudor sedan.
Those are keepers - I love old stuff - we have a few that were dads but not as nice as those! But still nice cos we know they were his!
