The Ford T is powered by a4-cylinder engine of 2896 cm3 with a 3-bearing crankshaft, side valves, sidecamshaft driven by gears. Ignition is by coil, vibrator and magnetic flywheel.It develops 20 hp at 1600 rpm and is coupled to a 2-speed gearbox + reverse.
It is suspended by a rigid axleand a semi-elliptical transverse leaf spring at the front and rear.
The name Ford T bordelaisecorresponds to the models assembled from 1916 in Bordeaux.
Before the First World War, Frenchcustomers had the choice of a large number of more refined native models, sothe austere “Tin Lizzy”, high on its legs and dressed all in black,had to make an effort to present itself.
In 1924 a special type of Model T,better adapted to the French market, was developed: the Ford Bordelaise, whoseassembly workshop was located in Bordeaux, rue Fondaudège
At the same time, a large number ofcoachbuilders dressed the Ford T chassis, the main one being probably GustaveCarde fils, whose Fregoli model we present to you is still famous.
