While many are familiar with the term Depot Hack, the origin of the term is not so well known. During the time, long distance travel was done by train, and the Depot Hack was specifically designed to carry passengers and their luggage from the train station or Depot, to their final destination, typically a hotel. The Depot Hack was not part of Ford's catalogue of body styles; rather, early independent coach-builders would manufacturer bodies and purchase the "T" chassis from Ford. The bodies were then fitted and sold as complete units. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1927 Ford Model T Depot Hack for consideration. This model features a wood body and a freshly rebuilt engine. The engine produces a whopping 20hp and is mated to a 2-speed planetary transmission. This Model T runs and drives great! It is a well sorted Depot Hack that is ready to go. The headlights, a taillight, turn signals, and brake lights all work. This model T is very zippy, and a blast to drive!
