16 or 17 with worn out tires and what looks to me like a strange tail light?

After these dates:

Combination horn light switch introduced late 1917 (characteristic of 1918 model year) Bruce pg 254

Has rectangular top bows introduced 1918 model year (1917 and earlier had oval). Late 1917 also possible.


Before these dates:
Wishbone still above the axle changed during 1919 production on the TT first and then the T. Bruce pg 280.

Rear axle has filler plug level with axle – filler plug lowered in 1919. (Pg 234)

Square felloe non-demountables – I believe but I do not have good documentation that those would move the date closer to the end of 1918 very early 1919.

Based on the above: Mid 1918 to very early 1919 most likely. But late 1917 to early 1919 possible.

Replacement tail light – non standard.

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 Model T Ford touring cut off and made into a pickup truck. And l907 Model S Runabout. Sumter SC.

What happened to the rear window?

Kep, they are dirty, one of the three also broken. If you've got a modern station wagon, you know a flat rear end will attract road dust.

A Grafonola is a Columbia phonograph.

The tail light looks as if it is an "Adlake" The Adams Weslake Company. Made lights for trucks and commercial vehicles. Also switch lights for rail railroads. Also marine lights. Also inside lights for early rail road cars. I have a few of them.

If you look at the rear fenders, the car backed in to something and the tail light must have got replaced. I guess that would be the crumple zone!

I agree with Darel, that that's and ADLAKE taillight. They are probably better known today for their railroad lights.
