ICM Models Model T Runabout 1918
Manufacture Product Number : ICM-35831 
| Among 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. The 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. The 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. Reliable and affordable, the 1918 Model T Runabout became an icon of automotive heritage and a vivid illustration of its era. All models are supplied as kits and will need to be assembled and painted. The picture illustrates how the model should look once completed. Glue and paint are not included in the kit. |
