They do not contain paints and glues unless otherwise stated.\u003cbr\u003eDescription\u003cbr\u003eAmong the passenger car modifications produced by Henry Ford, the Runabout version, later known as the Roadster, held a special place. It was a lightweight two-seat car with an open body and a folding soft top, designed to provide maximum mobility at a minimum cost. In 1918, its price was just over $400, making the 1918 Model T Runabout affordable even for an ordinary worker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Runabout body had a distinctive silhouette with an elegant folding soft top and a large enclosed storage compartment behind the seats. Another notable feature of the Model T Runabout was that it had only one body door, on the right-hand side. Three pedals controlled its unique planetary transmission, providing forward drive, reverse, and braking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe car could reach a speed of 65–70 km\/h while offering remarkable off-road capability. Thanks to its high ground clearance and flexible suspension, it could negotiate deep ruts, mud, and stones on the roads of early 20th-century America, where ordinary cars would quickly become stuck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReliable and affordable, the 1918 Model T Runabout became an icon of automotive heritage and a vivid illustration of its era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKey Features\u003cbr\u003eModel kit of the popular 1918 Model T Runabout passenger car\u003cbr\u003eAccurately reproduced geometry and proportions of the original vehicle\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed engine, suspension, and bodywork\u003cbr\u003eDecal sheet with 1918 licence plates from various U.S. states\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel Information\u003cbr\u003eScale: 1:35\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Parts: 96\u003cbr\u003eLength: 99 mm\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 59 mm\u003cbr\u003eIncludes detailed assembly instructions\u003cbr\u003eHighly detailed sprues with high accuracy made from quality plastic\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58729977545085,"sku":"ICM35831","price":31.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/icm3583101.jpg?v=1790190744","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/icm-135-scale-ford-model-t-runabout-1918-american-passenger-car","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
