Never Before Done in
Die-Cast
1912 Ford™ Model T Speedster
Customizing Cars Almost 100 Years Ago
Henry Ford didn’t want to build sports cars or racecars. His goal was simple, a
car everyman could afford. But that didn’t stop the more adventurous drivers of
1912 from modifying his cars. The 1912 Torpedo Runabout was Ford’s second best
selling style. By “simply” removing the windshield and replacing it with a
steering wheel monocle, adding wire wheels, changing the gas tank from
rectangular to oval, and finally, removing the panel between the running boards
and body, the Speedster was born. Powered by the 22 horsepower 4-cylinder
engine, it was among the fastest cars of its time because the modifications
removed over 25% of the body weight.
