Model T house car
 

Is there any truth to the story about Ford actually building the house car in the videos from Wayne Carini?

I have seen the house car. It is somewhere in Connecticut. Perhaps that is what Wayne is talking about. It was built to advertise a lumber yard. It is a tiny house the size of a coupe body, with a turtle deck on the back. A small house type door affords access. I last saw it about 25 years ago at a car show, and took a photo. I had an 8x10 enlargement made to give the guy, but I have not seen it since.
There is also a house Chevrolet in the area, built to advertise a development along the shore. That one shows up frequently. It is also from the 20's.

Ford sold the bare chassis to build what suited your needs. If Ford had built the house on wheels there would be lots of chatter about it so I am going to say NO, Ford did not build the house only the chassis under it.

Thanks, that's what I thought. He claimed Ford built 6 of them.

I agree with this opinion ! Wayne
