Radiator cover too.
Is the rear window a replacement?

Herb! how can you tell the visors are green from a black and white photo?
I'm just kidding. Great photo.

I bought a set of those lenses at Chickasha this year. Don't know why I wanted them but the price was decent. Yeah, they're green. :-)

I like those tires. Both sidewalls are something other than black. I wonder what color they were? I have seen originals in collections that were off-white, gray, or light red. I have threatened to stain a set of whitewalls to red. But I haven't had the right car for it yet.
Great photo! Thank you for sharing it.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

This could be a Canadian Model T. There is a very good article written by Kevin Mowle in the September - October 1988 Vintage Ford Magazine that shows later 1920-22 Canadian cars and they have the oval widows. Regards, John

The green eye lid is on the lens so they don't blind low flying aircraft.

Sincerely

John,

I agree with you that Kevin Mowle's article was/is great. But I think the touring in the photo is a USA one as it appears to have the "fake door" for the driver rather than the Canadian 4 doors. The hinge should be visible -- as on the back door. Some times due to shadows in the photo you cannot really tell for sure, but in this photo the lighting is good in that area.

If we only had the one photo of the roadster that you posted to figure out if it was a Canadian with 2 doors it would be harder. I tried changing the contrast etc and never could get the door hinges to show up in that shadow/black paint. But the Canadian style top rest, two oval windows in the one man top and the slant windshield that has the hinge for the lower windshield pane to pivot are all Canadian features. The Kelsey loose lug rims are also Canadian but were also used on some of the USA production.

Great photos!

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 cut off
