1910 Model Ts were unchanged from the 1909 sequence, barring some adjustments to the rear axle, the arrival of windshields, and a new standard color for all models – dark green. According to copies of factory records on file, engine 20441 was built in April 1910, and it is believed that the original owner was Mr. Nehr of Wilmington, Delaware.

In 1957, the Model T was acquired from Mr. Nehr by long-term owner Gordon Kirwin of Maryland, after seven years of pursuit. Over the course of 54 years of ownership, Mr. Kirwin restored the car sympathetically twice, completed no fewer than 16 Glidden Tours, and even corresponded directly with Henry Ford II, having won the Ford prize in the 1972 edition.

Of particular note is the fact that its winged radiator script and block-lettered hubs were in place when extracted from Mr. Nehr’s barn, showing the transitional nature of updates to the model during production.

Sold upon Mr. Kirwin’s death in 2011 to Philip Myers of Lehighton, Pennsylvania, the car was acquired by its previous owner in 2023. This Model T is a benchmark example of what Ford referred to as “High Priced Quality in a Low Priced Car.” Its next lucky custodian will not only acquire a great, early Ford, but will be only the fifth owner in 115 years.
