The Wills-Sainte Claire Museum, Marysville, Michigan

Mr. C. Harold Wills was an integral member of Henry Ford's team, even before Ford Motor Company was founded. In 1910, Mr. Wills' group redesigned the Model T and presented the new version to Mr. Ford who was so furious at the concept of changing HIS vehicle, that he personally destroyed the car with a sledge hammer. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Wills founded the Wills-Sainte Claire Automobile Company, building his plant in the center of 140 homes built to house his workers. During its six year history, the company built 41,000 vehicles. This 1926 T-6 Cabriolet Roadster was one of the last. It sold for $3,350 at a time when the Model T sold for $485.

What a beauty of a car. And, shame on Mr. Ford.

I love that maroon color. This sort of reminds me of that car that was shown in Titanic. Very beautiful. What a price to pay back then though. Vote.
