Ford Model T 1908–1927 car dimensions: 3404 mm long, 1676 mm wide and 1860 mm high. Unladen weight is 544 kg.
The Roadster offers an open two-seat cabin with diamond-tufted leather upholstery. Controls sit simple: spark and throttle levers under the steering wheel, foot pedals for gears and brakes. Standard gear includes side oil lamps, a tail lamp and tube horn. Tops and windshields come as extras on many years. Fresh air arrives by opening the windshield bottom. No enclosed climate system or modern driver aids appear in period specs.
The Roadster provides scant dedicated boot space. Small items fit behind the seats or under the folding top when fitted. Owners often added external carriers for luggage or tools.
The light chassis and transverse semi-elliptic springs handle rough roads well for the era. Owners used the Roadster for light farm and delivery work. A separate TT truck chassis offered one-ton payload capacity. No factory towing ratings or heavy-duty cooling packages are listed for the passenger Roadster.
The open roadster cabin uses machine-buffed leather upholstery over genuine hair cushions with strong lively springs. Transverse semi-elliptic springs and larger-than-usual tires deliver a comfortable ride over rough roads. An optional top and windshield add weather protection while keeping the airy feel.
Runs on gasoline from a 10-gallon tank with approx. 20-25 mpg.
Oil drained and refreshed about every 750 miles after initial 350-mile change.
Dual brakes: transmission band service brake plus rear internal expanding drums.
Standard kit includes side oil lamps, tail lamp and tube horn.
Simple enclosed design lets owners handle most repairs with basic tools.
The car takes ordinary gasoline fed by gravity from the 10-gallon tank under the seat. Expect roughly 20-25 miles per gallon at normal speeds around 35 mph, giving a practical range near 200 miles.
Servicing stays straightforward. Shared engine-transmission oil is checked via petcocks and changed every 750 miles once the first 350-mile flush is done. Grease cups, spring shackles and the commutator need attention every few hundred miles. most jobs use ordinary tools and the supplied instruction book.
Safety equipment centers on two independent brake sets—a foot-operated transmission band and hand-operated rear-hub expanders—plus oil lamps and a horn. High ground clearance and vanadium-steel parts help it handle poor roads of the era. No formal crash-test ratings appear in period material.
Day-to-day keeping means regular oil top-ups, tire pressure checks and occasional valve grinding. The dust-proof, self-lubricating layout and interchangeable parts keep long-term ownership simple and inexpensive for global owners.
