For it's entire production run of fifteen million vehicles, made from 1908 to 1927, the Ford Model T came in any color you wanted... as long as it was black!

These two Model T MOC's were inspired by a MOC by Calin over on Flickr. Each car seats one figure.

Here we see two brand-new 1923 hardtop Tin Lizzies about to be loaded on a flatcar for delivery to a Ford dealership in Anytown, USA.

Yes, I know this isn't how they did it back then, they actually loaded them in boxcars. But then, if I did that, then you couldn't see the cars!

Thoughts?

The windscreen is very ingenious solution and looks spot on.

Overall, I like the simple approach to the creation and yet it looks very recognizable.

Thank you @Kivi!

I really have to share Kivi's sentiment and expand upon it - there are lots of clever build-strengthening decisions, such as the 1x2 modified plates with clip doing doable duty as both the headlight mounts and as front mudguard supports! And that's all you!

I can really see this being part of a real modern LEGO set that went through LEGO's strict R&D process. What Calin did was great, but you made a brick-built chassis using currently-available parts. Good stuff!

Thanks @OddyBuilds for your kind words! I always try to build as if Lego was doing it as a set - so this is high praise indeed! Thanks again!
