I think Ford Escort means something different here in the UK. They've gone up in value hugely in the last 20 years and are generally worth a lot more than Model T Fords now. (Annoyingly they're worth much more than a contemporary Porsche 944, which was much more desirable when new. Annoyingly because I own a 944 and not an Escort).
