One family, the Bigas of Carpentersville, Il.; Stevens Point, Wi.; and Signal Mountain, Tn., have had theirs since the early 1930s. It has been a work truck after being converted. It could either be a 1925 or 1927, or even a 1921. No one is sure.
According to Bill Grams, co-owner of Volo Antique Auto Museum in Volo, Illinois, there are lots of Model Ts out there with parts still easy to get. He says he sees a resurgence in interest as a second hobby car for muscle-car guys. He says to expect to pay between $12,000 and $16,000 for a really good one.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
