Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
Some people call any early 1930's and earlier cars a Model T

If they get $25,000 for that 1/2 and 1/2 I’ll be very surprised. A waste of effort and money!

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
The owner has hung a bunch of fire fighting junk on the car to try and increase its value. If someone gave it to me, the first thing I would do is remove all the junk.

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
Looks to have 4 lug wheels and 4-cylinder engine, ya I would say it's a Shay.

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
I agree - looks like a Shay. But I am curious as to how they decided it is a 1923. Over the years I have run into a number of people that seem to believe that "If it is a Ford with a 4 cylinder engine then it's a Model T" OR "Any Ford before WWII is a Model T"

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
I worked for a classic car dealer when I was first married and owner loved those shay's. They would sell for good money but I hated them the workmanship was horrible and we used to say the miles on the odometer were dog miles. The pinto engine was underpowered and I felt unsafe driving them. Yuck

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
I messaged the seller.
told him it was not a Model T, 1923 or a truck. he replied he was listing for a friend, knew nothing about it and thanked me. said he would research and update the posting....

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
To many people these days, any "old" car is a Model T. I get that all the time.

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
Honestly, just like the Stooges are thinking in the photo ... who cares? Shay and the like are a sad time in the world of true Model A Ford fans.

Re: When is a Model T a Model A and not a Model A?
Yeah, it's a Shay, the "lollipop" cowl lights are a dead giveaway. Lots of Shay hate on here because it's not a "real" Model A. Course it never was intended to be, says "reproduction" right on the grill badge. Like it or don't for what it is, not for what it's not. I agree the fire stuff doesn't add anything, but check the price guides. For those who accept Shays for what they are, the ask may be a bit optimistic, but not unrealistic.
