Model T Coupe with Brass Radiator

**Doninabilene** · January-03-10, 04:35 PM

Looking for photos of Model T Coupes!
There are lots of Model T Coupes around but Very-Very Few Early Model T Coupes with a Brass radiator.These were only built from 1909-1912.Does anyone have a photo of one of these cars in Traffic,at a Ford Dealership or Auto show?
I have only been able to locate a couple in the past 5 years!

I always thought brass-radiator Model T's were built through the 1914 model year.

I would check out the Burton Historical Collection.

Also try to contact the Piquette T's--some of them may have information for you. I'm trying to think if there are any brass radiator T's at the TPLEX.

Yes, I am another Packard man. I've been lurking here for the past several months and noticed name, so I thought I'd modify it a little to suit me.

Motor City Packards? Yes, I am the Director of the Club and you are?

You know me. Belive me, you know me. I organized and led the tour of the historical auto plant sites [[and the Fox theatre) for the 2006 PAC convention--is that enough of a clue?

**Packman41** · January-07-10, 06:46 AM

Hello 56Packman:
Yes, I was 99% certain it was you, By the way, your presentation at the Fox was one of the most highly commented activities at the 2006 Packard National Meeting. Keep up the good work and Thank You!

Brass Rads were on Model T's till 1916
Thanks for various photos and leads on photos of T's with Brass Rads,but I am interested in Model T "COUPES Only" and these were only built between 1909-12 after that they had a Black Steel Radiator

Not to sound dense, but you've been in contact with the Piquette T's?

You might want to try the research library at The Henry Ford [[aka Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village). The Benson Ford Research Center there has a lot of FoMoCo history and images.
