This 1914 Ford Model T was restored by Ted Mahoney, Needham High School Class of 1978. He is accompanied by his brother, Steve Mahoney NHS Class of 1980, his cousin Ed Mahoney and Ed's son, Charlie. Ted purchased the Model T from his uncle, Dr. Ed Mahoney, also of Needham, in 2002. He restored the vehicle with precision and historical accuracy over the past 14 years. It has been a lifelong dream of Ted’s to drive this restored family Model T in Needham's Fourth of July Parade. Ted lives in Lynn Haven, FL with his wife, Jenny, and their girls, Maria and Monica. They all drove up (with the Model T in a trailer) from Florida for this year’s Independence Day celebration.
