This 1927 Ford Model T touring is a Canadian-market example powered by a 177ci inline-four paired with a two-speed planetary gear transmission. The car was repainted maroon with black fenders prior to being purchased in 2004 by the late Roger Hadfield, a retired Air Canada pilot and Model T enthusiast who is said to have participated in numerous tours with this car. It has black leather upholstery, a tan soft top, electric start, wood-spoke wheels with demountable rims, and a rear-mount spare rim and tire. This Model T is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner as part of the Roger Hadfield Collection in Canada with Ontario registration.
The four-door touring car bodywork wears an older repaint in maroon with black fenders, splash aprons, and running boards. The car is accented by a tan convertible top, a nickel-plated radiator shell, a single taillight, twin-bar bumpers, and glass wind wings. A 1927 Ontario license plate is retained at the rear. Scratches, chips, and wear are present in the finish, and there is pitting on the bumpers.
Wood-spoke 21″ wheels have demountable rims and are mounted with Garfield tires, and a spare rim and tire are mounted to the rear of the car. Stopping is provided by a band acting on a drum in the transmission.
The cabin features two rows of bench seating upholstered in pleated and buttoned black leather. There is creasing on the driver’s seat.
The four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of an ammeter. No odometer is fitted, and total mileage is unknown. The car has an electric starter and a keyed ignition switch. An electric horn has been added.
The 177ci inline-four was factory rated at 20 horsepower. There is corrosion on the cylinder head, manifolds, and firewall. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a two-speed planetary gear transmission.
The car is titled by its engine number, C671994, which corresponds to a unit produced in Canada in June 1926.
The car is being sold on its Ontario registration, which serves as an ownership document in Canada. The seller is listing the car on behalf of an estate, and a representative of the estate will handle the transaction.
