Re: Pros and cons of a 1915 Runabout vs Steel Car
Except for the brass radiator, brass trim on head/cowl/tail lights, hood, fenders and hood former on cowl they are pretty much the same car. There are a lot of fake 1915 built from later cars (17-22) so you should do a little research before you jump on it. It is said there are more 1915's then what was built by Ford at the factory. Low cost car that gets you into the HCCA.

Re: Pros and cons of a 1915 Runabout vs Steel Car
Adding my post above; The guys on Model T Ford Club of America really know their stuff. If you really want to find out about what is right or wrong about the car, ask there and post photos. As in the Model A world there are a lot of what I call Ice Cream restorations, looks good on the outside, but underneath needs lots of work. Which can add a lot of cost down the road, esp engine work.
