1910 Ford Model T Torpedo

[Bobchayer]

1910 Ford Model T Torpedo, 1/16 scale, manufactured by Hudson Miniatures Old Timers, Scranton, Penna. in 1949. Kit contained cast wheels, radiator, and lights; steel wire, soft and hard balsa wood; and cardstock. 0.5 Mm styrene was used for the hood. Fenders and running boards were from a Lindberg 1/16 kit and heavily modified to fit. Rag top was from gabardine trousers bought in a thrift shop. Upholstery was made from 1/8 inch square pine sanded to shape.

That's crazy amazing! I have an old Hudson kit (of an International IIRC) but it scares me to look in the box and think about actually trying to build it.

Great model!  Who would have thought of thrift store pants for a top?

Another beauty.

I agree. Nicely done.  I've always wanted an Open Runabout (which is what Ford called this bodystyle) of my own. Your model is a real inspiration.A lot of work went into this. Thanks for posting it.

Very impressive!  I've always wanted to try one of these.
