Ford Model T 177 CID 1925
General description :
Gateway Classic Cars of St. Louis is proud to present this spectacular 1925 Ford Model T for sale in our St. Louis showroom. Up until around 1915 there were three sources for powering vehicles. Steam which was efficient quiet and powerful but very dangerous. Electricity which had the same qualities as steam but could barely go 5 miles before having to charge. Then there was the Gasoline motor. It was dirty, crude and hard to operate but a man named Henry Ford would change all of that. He liked the ever-evolving power you could get from a gasoline engine so when he decided to build the affordable car to the masses it was an easy decision to go with the gasoline motor. In 1914 his streamlined process known as the assembly line was used to produce the now legendary Model T. It would prove to be the automobile available to the masses. This 1925 Model T has its original 4 cylinder motor under its spit butterfly style hood. The 2.9 liter 177 CID engine out an average of 20 horse power. The spoked wheels are true wood and in great shape. The black paint is period correct and protects the metal body nicely. Open the door and hop in the cab and you will be thrown back to a different time. With a couple of levers on the steering wheel, a series of pedals on the floor and a huge lever you know this Model T is as original as it gets. With most of these being cut up and turned into hotrod's or scraped during WWII all original T's are definitely getting hard to find. If you are looking for a great car to show in the parades or take to car shows this is the car for you. Of course you can get this car in any color as long as it's black. This 1925 Ford Model T is for sale in our St. Louis Showroom and can be seen in great detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at http://www.GatewayClassicCars.com.

About Ford
Ford, founded in 1902, has arguably changed the history of automotive world more than any other car manufacturer by introducing the first people's car Model T in 1908. They had produced more than 15 million cars by the end of the production in 1927, by which T had become obsolete.Ford launched the first low priced V8 engine powered car in 1932. 1932 V8 was an instant hit with superior handling and performance to many far more expansive cars of the day. No wonder 32 V8 Ford has become such a favourite among hot rodders around the world with 32 Deuce coupe as their icon.
During the war Ford completely shut down civilian vehicle production to dedicate all its resources to the Allied war efforts (1942-45) They used to build B-24 bombers, aircraft engines, jeeps, M-4 tanks, military trucks and Bren-gun carriers and more than 30,000 super-charged Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 engines for Mosquito and Lancaster bombers as well as P-51 Mustang fighters. After the war Ford cars in the USA got bigger and flashier along with their competitors. In the 60's Ford was back in the forefront again when introducing their commercial hit Mustang in 1964. Mustang was so popular the competition had to follow Ford's example and the ponycar phenomenon took over the US. Over the years the ponies grew some muscles until the oil crisis kill finally killed them off.
In the sixties Ford rushed into international motor sports scene with a fury. After unsuccessful Ferrari takeover, when Enzo Ferrari had cut the deal off with Henry Ford II making the latter absolutely boil with fury, Ford turned to Lola in UK to produce a Ferrari beating long distance racer after. The collaboration between Ford and Lola created the mighty Ford GT40 that absolutely beat Ferrari in Le Mans 24 numerous times.
In Europe, Ford introduced some of the most epic race and rally cars of the 60's based on humble family sedans; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, and Escort 1600RS with the iconic Cosworth BDA engines.
Today classic Fords are extremely popular with enthusiasts and a great selection of classic Fords can be found for sale at www.ClassicDigest.com
