It is obviously based on a Ford T chassis but I think it should be labeled made for movie. -- Last edit: 2011-04-06 21:59:41

nzcarnerd ◊ 2011-04-08 07:23	The reason I think it is supposed to represent the 999 is that the 999 was the only Ford racer to use that handle-type steering. His 1901 'Sweepstakes' and 1904 'Arrow' cars used wheel steering - http://www.flickr.com/photos/thehenryford/page6/ The 1902 999 can be seen on page 5 of the same link. -- Last edit: 2011-04-08 21:25:55
