Nickel plated radiator shell and headlamp trim rings were standard, as were 6 volt electric starting and lighting equipment. Changes for 1926 – 27 included a cowl mounted gasoline tank and restyled fenders and splash aprons. The Fordor sedan body style was basically carried over from 1925. If the car above were a “non – starter” version it would have non – demountable wheels, no spare wheel carrier, and kerosene tail and cowl lamps. Enough were sold to make it a profitable part of the business. Ford was the only United States car manufacturer who still made cars with no electric starter in 1926. The touring in the advertisement is not the touring that you could buy for $290. A spare tire rim was included, but you had to pay extra for the tire that went on it. The coupe was well equipped from the factory in 1926, with nickel radiator shell and headlamp trim, rear view mirror, dash lamp, electric starter / generator / battery, and as the advertisement carefully states “four cord tires”. The lamp is designed to bolt on to the original tail lamp bracket in place of the standard single bulb lamp. The lamps were furnished with wiring and a brake lamp switch that was activated when the brake pedal was depressed.
This car has the optional rear combination brake lamp / tail lamp.Ībove and below – A close up of the optional stop / tail lamp. Notice the difference in the body color compared to the hood and front fender.Īnother photo of an early 1926 touring, photo property of The Henry Ford.

The Keystone Cops and Mack Sennett comedies were a staple of American movie theater short films for much of the early 20th century. The new 1926 – 27 Fords were “built Ford tough” as the saying goes. An early 1926 touring – notice the headlight mounting arrangement with no headlight cross bar – with an unusual passenger in the back seat.
