1900 Ford Tiller Steer Car

Glenwood Corbin used to call them a "Jitney".

From what I gather, until the advent of the Model T in 1903, the first Ford with a steering wheel, all previous models steered by a tiller.

Without closer examination, I cannot speak as to whether this is an original; several replica versions have been marketed, most in comes-in-a-box kit form, and most powered by a lawn-mower engine.

In some kits, cutting patterns are provided for plywood that you supply, along with no provided engine which you source yourself.

Lanesville - Franklin Township - Harrison County - Indiana

	Ford had steering wheels from the beginning. In 1903 they started with the Model A and then B,C,F,K,N,R,S and in 1908 the model T. In 1928 they started the Model A again and the B in 1932. The Model T was nicknamed Jitney back in the day as well as Tin Lizzy, since it replaced the horse.
