A Revolution in Black and Gold

This 1,060-piece masterpiece is an authentic tribute to the 1913 Roadster—the vehicle that revolutionized transportation and put the world on wheels.

Authentic Brass-Era Engineering
The Model T isn’t just a static display; it features a range of mechanical functions that mirror the hands-on nature of early motoring.
- Working Hand Crank: Turn the front-mounted crank to spin the engine fan, replicating the manual start procedure of the original 1910s powertrain.
- Engine & Chassis Access: Lift the hood panels from either side to reveal the detailed four-cylinder engine, or lift the seat to find the integrated gas tank.
- Convertible Versatility: Features a specialized fold-back fabric roof and a fold-down split windshield, allowing you to display the car in its classic open-air roadster configuration.
- Interactive Driver’s Cab: The cockpit includes working steering and a single opening passenger door, providing a clear view of the spartan but elegant interior.
- Signature Vintage Styling: Recreates the iconic tall, slim profile of the Model T with specialized spoked rims and white tires, accented by “brass” style golden lamps and radiator detailing.
