Behind the Scenes: The Model TT

Automobiles revolutionized transportation and, as a result, left wagon-making companies with two options forward: adapt or fail. Many wagon makers fell short, but Knapheide refused to accept defeat so easily.
The Model T will forever symbolize this turning point for Knapheide and is why the Ford Model TT was rebuilt and included in Knapheide's 175th anniversary heritage display.

That is some classy work to bring a model to scale of the craftsmanship offered to the Ag community of the past! Keep up the great work!

I really like the concept and the work they put into the restoration and fabrication. One little reference detail: today we like to see wood grain but back then they would have painted over the wood. It looks like they had an original wagon with its factory paint. Green hues were very popular for commercial vehicles of all types combined with red undercarriage. I wonder why they didn’t use that wagon as their guide for painting the TT.

Too much talk, not enough TT
