NOBLE & COOLEY MODEL T UPDATE: MAY 2019

The lettering on the Noble & Cooley Model T has now been restored to its original color and design, and looks great! The truck, which was purchased new in the 1920's by the Noble & Cooley Company, is running well and expected to make several appearances in 2019, including at Granville's 4th of July Parade.

The Model T has been fully restored mechanically and will retain its original "patina" rather than be restored cosmetically. As the expression goes, "It's only original once" (even if most of the original green paint is gone!).

Thanks to Socha Signs of Chicopee, MA. https://www.sochasigns.com/ for the superb work, which duplicated the original lettering. They used a special technique to make the lettering look aged so it is consistent with the rest of the truck. The lettering was made possible by Bruce Socha.

Here's a preview:
