BeanBandit ◊ 2006-05-10 12:40	Yes, one of the early model (1908 - 09), with brass radiator and carbide lights.

tore-40 ◊ 2018-01-23 10:33	But the whole concept of model years were invented about 20 years later, during TGD (The Great Depression) to boost the sale of new models. First in the US (e.g. VW would use model years from 1956, in August 1955, and you could argue they didn't even exist in the twenties but that is off topic) It would be slightly wrong to force model years to these early Fords, albeit it has been done, yes
