Herb,

Thanks for posting. I think it would be a mid 1917 to Mid 1919 Model T touring (assuming USA production and that the parts have not been changed out). Rationale: With the unequal length windshield hinges it would be mid 1917 or later ref: http://mtfca.com/encyclo/doc17.htm see Apr 19, 1917. With the above the axle wishbone it would be 1919 or earlier [introduced on the Ton Trucks Apr 14, 1919 ref: http://mtfca.com/encyclo/doc19.htm ].

And yes, those are nice looking headlight lens. I do not know if they focus the light well or not. But I do know I like the way they look.

Respectfully submitted,

I love the photo distortion. What looks like a bent axle giving bad negative camber on the passenger side is actually a mal-adjusted view camera screwing up the image... unless they got the horse, the fellow at the side and the fence posts all to lean the same way.

On second glance, it is just a poorly photographed older print. The original was probably ok.

What year did those Hasslers first start showing up?

Terry,

I'm not sure when the Hasslers were first produced the Model T Fords. The earliest patent date on the tag is Mar 9, 1913, but sometimes things are produced and sold before the patent process is completed. Below is an advertisement for them from the Oct 1915 "Ford Owner" compliments of Google Books at:

Also a link to the 1915 Model T Ford "Owner's Manual" that I ran across while looking for the Hassler info:

Terry ... looks like a photo taken on an angle of a photo .. rather than a scan. So, yea .. the whole image would be skewed.
