A 1930’s DIY Model-T With The Car Mileage of Today

This incredible story from ecomodder.com tells of a DIY aeromodding project from 1933 where a Ford Model T was redesigned with a custom fabricated teardrop body. The resulting car traveled at 70 miles per hour with its original engine while the original Model T only made it to 45. The streamlined car also got 38 miles per gallon while the original car was in the range of 25-30. Harry Stevinson who created the car, didn’t loose interest in automobile efficiency after the Model T. He was 17 when he created the aerodynamic Ford and in later years, equipped an Oldsmobile with a basic fuel economy meter to monitor gas consumption on the road.
