1923 Ford T-Bucket Is Fresh on the Market and Quirky as They Get 20 Jan 2021, 10:55 UTC · by 11 photos Generally defined as a hot rod build based on a Model T, a T-bucket is a sort of machine you either love or hate. It would seem generally people hate them, and there is only a limited number of garages still making them since just a small bunch of people are willing to pay for one. Small as it is, this industry is around, and it churns out T-buckets even today, 113 years after the first Model T rolled off Ford’s assembly lines. And the one you’re looking at is the last to join the pack of such machines available for purchase.
