This Ford Motor Company advertising tray captures a 1910 Model T Torpedo Roadster gliding through a wintry scene, a nostalgic nod to the earliest days of American motoring.
Maker: Ford Motor Company
Materials: Metal
Dimensions: 14.25 inches long x 8.75 inches wide
Origin: USA
Era: Vintage, 1950s–1960s (estimated)

The tray carries two stickers worth noting: one on the front reading "Reconditioned by Authorized Preconditioner" beneath the Ford word mark, and one on the back reading "Ford Certified Tray." We can't confirm whether either was an official Ford practice or added later by a previous owner or seller, so we've left both in place for you to see and decide for yourself.
A fitting find for automobilia collectors, fans of early Ford history, or anyone decorating a bar or man cave — and a natural Father's Day gift for the car enthusiast in your life.
Henry Ford worked through a series of models from 1903 to 1908, cycling through the alphabet from Model A before landing on the Model T, twenty models in just five years. The Torpedo Roadster shown here was one of the earliest Model T body styles, and this tray was issued decades later, likely in the 1950s or 1960s, as part of a Ford advertising campaign celebrating that history.
