It was lightweight, urable and priced at $500, as affordable to the masses. Designed as a two-passenger runabout, ord and his staff learned many things from the Model N that were later incorporated into the Model T. While the early history of this car is unknown, t was later acquired by noted collector and old-car aficionado, argaret Dunning of Plymouth, ichigan. Margaret commissioned a full, igh-level restoration of the car to bring it back to life. This was a complete restoration of body, hassis, pholstery, ngine and drivetrain.
