Description
The ICM Ford Model T Runabout 1918 American Passenger Car, part number HC-ICM35831, is a plastic model kit representing the open two-seat Runabout version of the Ford Model T. This 1918 passenger car featured a lightweight body, a folding soft top and an enclosed storage compartment behind the seats. The kit reproduces the vehicle's distinctive proportions and includes detailed engine, suspension and bodywork components.
The historical Runabout, later known as the Roadster, was designed to provide mobility at a lower cost. Its body had one door on the right-hand side, while three pedals operated the planetary transmission for forward drive, reverse and braking. The original car was capable of 65–70 km/h and used high ground clearance with flexible suspension to travel across ruts, mud and stones. These period features give the finished model a clear connection with early 20th-century American motoring.

Specifications
Among the passenger car modifications produced by Henry Ford, the Runabout version, later known as the Roadster, held a special place. It was a lightweight two-seat car with an open body and a folding soft top, designed to provide maximum mobility at a minimum cost. In 1918, its price was just over $400, making the 1918 Model T Runabout affordable even for an ordinary worker.
The Runabout body had a distinctive silhouette with an elegant folding soft top and a large enclosed storage compartment behind the seats. Another notable feature of the Model T Runabout was that it had only one body door, on the right-hand side. Three pedals controlled its unique planetary transmission, providing forward drive, reverse, and braking.
The car could reach a speed of 65–70 km/h while offering remarkable off-road capability. Thanks to its high ground clearance and flexible suspension, it could negotiate deep ruts, mud, and stones on the roads of early 20th-century America, where ordinary cars would quickly become stuck.
Reliable and affordable, the 1918 Model T Runabout became an icon of automotive heritage and a vivid illustration of its era.
