Model T & Model A Rentals

Drive into history with a Model T Ford and relive a slower pace of life of an earlier time. Picture yourself driving a Model T Ford as you wind your way up the back roads to Yosemite National Park. The Road you are driving on seems to have been lifted out of history. You will forge streams that cut across your path. You have chosen a “road less traveled”.

Model T Fords
	1915 Touring Car This was Ford's economy family car. Advertisements read "It would carry a family of five". The cost of the 1915 Touring car was $490, only $50 more than the Runabout
	1922 Touring Car The radiator and trim were now all black. The price was dropped to $355. Electric starters were offered a $65 option (all of our cars after 1919 have electric starters, no need to crank.)
	1926 Touring Car The body of this Touring car resembles a Model A Ford. The gas tank is no longer under the seat but under the cowl. No need to back up a hill when you don't have a full tank of gas. The price of the 1926 Touring car was originally $290.

Model A Fords
Model A's first appeared in 1928 and were a definite improvement over the Model T. Having twice the horse power, four wheel brakes, and a standard three speed transmission.
	1928 Model A Touring Car Called by Ford a Phaeton and originally sold for $395.00 FOB, Detroit. The Phaeton was the family car which carried five people, Mom and Dad with three children - top folds down allowing a full view of the park.
	1929 Model A Roadster With Rumble Seat Originally sold for $385.00 for $20.00 more you could add a rumble seat which allowed you to carry more people. The Roadster we offer comes complete with a rumble seat - this is a great place for the children while seeing the park.

We offer both Model A Roadsters and Touring cars
