Ford Modell TT 1917




The pictures show that the transformation of a T-model from Ford into a box van can not have been so difficult. Therefore, the car was delivered to customers with bare chassis. The TT model was slightly longer than the passenger car and had a larger wheelbase. Chassis and rear axle were more stable.


At the clearly lower top speed one can recognize the changed gear ratio, which was not transferred to the rear axle per cone and crown wheel as in model T, but with a worm gear, As extras were a transmission with additional support gear and air tires instead of those from solid rubber available.


From 1924, the TT model was also available with body. Nevertheless, the price fell constantly to 380 dollars 1923 and three years later to the lowest level of 325 dollars, thus always similar to that of the T-model. A total of 1.5 million vehicles were produced only in the US.


Henry Ford's father was not a farmer, but he himself felt the time of his life joined to the hard farm life that he hoped to facilitate by mechanization. In 1917 the Fordson company was founded. In the picture the tractor with the production number 1, which Henry Ford gave to his friend, the botanist Luther Burbank. 10/17
