This 1923 Ford Model T was built sometime in the late mid to late 1950s, It was fitted with the famous Red Ram Hemi and like so many others of the day driven to the drag strip, wherever it might be in those early days.

This car was retired and put in a barn out in Oak Harbor, Washington (yes, another barn find) around 1960. It stayed there until an old time hot-rodder found it in 1970. From the barn the car was moved to his garage near Seattle. He started the car, but didn't drive it, as the brakes needed work. As he told me, it ran real good, and I decided to freshen it up and drive it someday"Well as things go, someday turned into 47 years, and the car was still on stands when we acquired it.
