It doesn’t say how many miles it has been driven. Did 1927 Model T’s have odometers?

Good question. My grandfather used to tell me stories about driving them, but he never mentioned the odometer. He did tell me that there was a separate pedal for reverse, and that they did not have enough power to pull many hills in Pittsburgh so he'd turn around and go up them in reverse (which was like having front wheel drive).
Also no window defroster. He said he once had to drive from Pittsburgh to Johnstown with his head out the window.

Did 1927 Model Ts have odometers?Only as an after-market addition along with the speedometer. I believe the only gauge that came stock on the T was a voltage meter. And those early odometers don't really mean much, since they could be reset at will and many only went to 4 digits.
