Walter Kerrigan's Model T
Ford Model T owned and restyled by Walter Kerrigan of Oakland, California around 1919. Walter inherited the Model T from his dad William, that suddenly died in January of 1919. Walter was living in the Temescal district of Oakland at 5153 Shafter Avenue when he modified the car. He installed leaf springs on the rear, changing the frame to "underslung". The windshield was slanted, the fenders were removed, and inner tubes were used to make inflatable air cushioned seats.[1]
