Default The Most Interesting Ford Model "T" Dealership Photo Ever Seen?



Frank Boyd Ford Sales and Service – Hillsborough, New Hampshire: This photo is perhaps one of the most entertaining and interesting pre-1930 car dealership images we have ever seen. The photo was staged to show the latest shipment of Fords to arrive at Frank Boyd Ford Sales and Service, a small town agency located in Hillsborough, New Hampshire.

Learn all the details and see three enlargements of the photo on The Old Motor.

Did dealers have to assemble them when they were delivered? Was that common? Seems odd.

Seth, No it was a very common thing at the time.

And I thought the Chevy Vega was first "chassis" to be vertically carried to the receiver. Ha!

Thanks! I didn't realize that. You would be hard pressed to find folks willing to work that hard now. Of course the Model T was more simplistic than say a Ford Taurus. I always enjoy your post and photos.
