This Tin Lizzie, with a 50-inch wheelbase and 3 HP engine, is designed to run in yards, playgrounds and paved areas, but not on highways. The body is of steel, with fiberglass fenders, brass colored col-ored headlamps and bright red wheels. It has the same simple design, driving and handling characteristics of the original Model T and even sounds like one when it is running. Its originator, Henry Ford, is said to have said, on the first test run when the driver reported several parts had fallen off during the test, "If the car ran without the parts, let's identify them so that in the future we will not put them on the cars." |
