The 1923 Ford Model TT Hearse is a unique, custom-built vehicle, created in 2010 by a dedicated husband-and-wife team. Modeled after an Ertl 1:18 die-cast model, this stunning 1923 hearse on a Ford Model TT chassis was designed with meticulous attention to detail, allowing for certain customizations while maintaining the charm of the original. First publicly showcased at the Midwest Old Threshers Reunion in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, in August 2010, it quickly gained recognition and was honored as the 2011 Feature Truck for the event. Since then, the hearse has been paraded and displayed at numerous shows, including the prestigious 2017 ATHS National Show in Des Moines, Iowa.
The vehicle runs and drives with its original Model T motor, transmission, and chassis, making it not only a showpiece but also a functional piece of history. Designed to accommodate full-sized and smaller caskets, the 1923 Ford Model TT Hearse is not wide enough for oversized caskets but features standard rollers and pins for ease of use. The bed and cab are primarily constructed of wood, while the steel components are limited to the cowl, hood, fenders, and running boards, giving it an authentic, vintage feel. The front lamps are ornamental, adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of this period-appropriate funeral vehicle.
Additionally, for collectors or enthusiasts interested in transporting this historical hearse, there is a special-order enclosed trailer available for an additional cost. The trailer, designed with an 8-foot-high interior, is specially built to accommodate the height of the 1923 Hearse on the Model TT chassis, ensuring safe and secure transport to shows and events. This 1923 Ford Model TT Hearse offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, functionality, and historical significance, making it a highly desirable piece for vintage vehicle collectors and those passionate about classic hearses.
