Default An AT car on BAT

Model A with T touring body. I have to ask why. Current bid is $3,000. Looks like it needs help. Can you join the Model A club and the Model T club with one car?

LOL. You can join both clubs without a car!

When we were in the US for the New Mexico National Rally, I looked at a friend's collection and he had such a car. I'm still not sure about it - I was more interested in other cars he had.
It looks a little unusual to we who have and know our Model As but I see no problem with it.

Kind of neat in it's own way!


Although I wouldn't really want to own it!

Hard to tell where the gas tank is and how the fuel would reach the carb. I’d be interested to just go see it and how it is engineered.

That year T had about the same gastank position as a Model A, with the filler under what looks like a vent on the cowel.

Surprised they accepted a car like that. It’s marginally unique but no where near the standard of cars they normally accept.
