Adrian,

Thank you for posting. A very nice paint job. Based on the nice paint and the doors going all the way to the bottom of the body I would assume a fairly new 1913.

Respectfully submitted,

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

The tire looks bald. Would a new 1913 model come with smooth tires?

Yes.

Chains were often used to combat mud and slippery roads (such as cobble stones with 'horse exhaust' on them) - also on the front wheels to try and get some grip for steering.
Cheers
Adrian

I had to look twice at this photo. He looks just like my Amish neighbor.

When My Dad had to stop and put the chains on my brothers and i would always ak our mother if we could listen to Daddy put he chains on. There were always new words we would learn.

That's funny Aaron. I probably use a lot of those words your dad used when I'm laying in a snow bank putting my chains on. It just seems to help. :-)
