I'll get some better photos when she arrives.
By Royce Peterson on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 07:49 pm:Looks pretty nice except someone mounted the horn upside down. Congratulations, there are not many 1913's around!
By Bob Coiro on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 07:58 pm:Wow, they sure don't come any prettier than that.
By Steve Jelf on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 08:16 pm:LHD, must be American. A pretty swell old chariot.
By "Hap" (Harold) Tucker on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 08:20 pm:Thomas,
Great looking car and looks like it is ready to drive and enjoy.
Do you have any history on the car? With the left hand door stamped into the panel I would assume it is a USA produced body and most likely car? If it is a USA produced body, you may be able to locate the body number and body maker letter by raising the front seat cushion and looking on the wood in front of the gas tank. See: “Home for the Holidays” at: http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/29/40322.html) that discusses where to look. Disregard the later information -- and focus on the wooden seat frame cars.
Again, congratulations on your "New" T!
Respectfully submitted,

By Larry Smith on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 09:37 pm:Looks like an early one too with that speedometer and carburetor adjusting rod. I agree with Royce, on your horn. I would also consider changing the rear window to the stock patten. Let us know what the body number is, located under the front seat. The serial number, and the engine number would be nice too.
By Mike Walker, NW AR. on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 10:07 pm:Thomas -- That is a beautiful Model T all right. Congratulations on your new acquisition. I don't mean to be too picky, but the front tires look too fat to me for an early T. Maybe the non-US cars were different?
By Mike Walker, NW AR. on Sunday, July 25, 2010 - 10:11 pm:By the way, I think the pic taken from the rear showing the "spindly" rear end is really cute. And it looks as if someone did a great job of integrating lights into the rear fenders.
By Dick Lodge - St Louis MO on Monday, July 26, 2010 - 09:46 am:Mike, someone once posted on this forum something like, "I could probably like Model A's, but their tires are too fat." I use it on my Model A friends... 
By Thomas Stinson on Tuesday, August 03, 2010 - 06:24 pm:The T arrived this morning safe and sound,apart from someone stepped on the old jerry can and bent the handle..
There is a number on the wooden seat frame,the number is II 106828.
'Hmm' about that welding job on the left axle housing...
Getting around the T garage is getting tighter....
By Royce Peterson on Tuesday, August 03, 2010 - 06:48 pm:Your car has a letter "H" in front of the number: H106828
