Re: Looking at Model T Ford
You won't be happy, buy a larger make. If you are really wanting a T get in and out 3 times in a row or look for a center door sedan.

Re: Looking at Model T Ford
I have a model A coupe and 2 model T's. The A is more comfortable, but for me, the T's are much more fun to drive. Suggest that you find a T that someone will let to sit in to see if you fit. You might just find that you agree. John

I own a 1913 and can confirm brass era (1909-1915) touring bodied cars offer MUCH more room than the later black era cars. Bad news is brass cars are double the price. 1926-27 coupes are also said to be roomy.

If you can fit in the Tudor in your avatar picture, you will fit better in a Model T Touring.

Re: Looking at Model T Ford
The 1914 - 1925 T's are all the same size. The only difference is the steering wheel got bigger on the 1920 - 25 T's. If you need more room you can install a earlier steering wheel on a later T. Any of them have more room than a Model A.
The 1926 - 27 Model T's are smaller and at 6'5" and 250 pounds I cannot drive one comfortably. Similarly I am unable to drive Model A's without pain, my legs simply don't fit under the steering wheel well enough to be able to operate the brake and clutch pedals. The 1913 body is 1" wider than 1914 - 25. The 1911 - 1912 bodies are 2" wider than 1914 - 25. The 1909 - 1910 bodies are 3" wider than 1914 - 25.
