Back in the 1920s Sears sold bodies for Ford Model Ts, including Torpedo and Boattails, does any one have a copy of those pages? It would be really cool to replicate that style on a Model T or A!

Yeah, but there's no online ordering--you still have to mail in your order! :eusa_doh:

You know, I have one of them 1970s reprints of the 1927 catalog... I know there's an automotive section that I've looked at and was amazed to see such interesting accessories to purchase for a Ford or what not.

I'll dig it out and check and see what I can find!

A model T boat tail... lol that would be much cooler than the 1987 Ford T-Bird I saw with the front clip of a 1949 Ford in Auto Trader. :eusa_doh:

Sears made his catalog thinner then montgomery wards on purpose ,so at home people had to stack the sears catalog on top!

I love Sears. One of my very first jobs was for Sears. I was a floater and worked several departments. Once I was in the middle aisle helping a Scottish guy cut up veggies selling a Combi-chef.
He demonstrated and was a selling machine. :offtopic:
I have several of the 1970s repro. I also have one of the 1970s I just love to look at and reminisce. lol

It must be true because that is exactly how my catalogs are stacked! lol

And which is still in business? I know, correlation doens't imply cause and effect blah blah...

I love the old Sears catalogs though, my neighbors are full time garage sale wizards and have several--they're handy for research.
