T Ford Touring 1924

It is just a photo copy, but it still feels rather special.

In September 1924 my Swedish greatgrandfather

had bought a T Ford Touring and it cost him

2200 Swedish crowns, including 5 crowns for the

number plate he had borrowed!

He was a farmer and a politician and he must have

understood the advantages of getting around in a car

quite early. He must also have had the necessary money!

Looking for how the car had looked, I found this photo

on this website

My mother thinks it was how her grandfather's car looked.

After he bought a second car , probably in the beginning

of the 1930's, this car ended up in the forest as a playground

for the children in the family!
