'26 Runabout Colors

[CatMan1]

This weekend I'll be getting a '26 Runabout to add to my Model A. It's black with straw colored wheels. In looking over the car brochures I noticed that body style came in blue or brown. Was black an option and they just didn't mention it?

Colors other than black were not offered on the Runabout or Touring until later in 1926. The Model T encyclopedia states the colors were probably for the ‘27 Model year which was introduced in August

I see. This one must have been restored years ago as the paint isn't perfect. I'm ok with that. It's a good first 'T' to have. The wheels are straw colored. I thought my '28 Sport Coupe was small.......
