Does any one recognize this car? The dash plaque reads "1951 Western Mass Model T Club". The car had wire wheels on it originally. Under the red paint is brighter red paint and gold leaf trimming as they do on fire engines. I'd love to know the early history of this car, and see some pictures of it in its heyday.
Yes .. looks like it would be ian interesting vehicle ...
What is .. or is in the brass-looking tube, by the green 'emergency kit'???
Looks like a Prest-o-lite bottle with acetylene for the headlights. The end facing front has the pressure gauge on it.
Very good ... thanks! Were the cowl lights 'removable'? Looks like they have handles on them.
Dennis,
Many early side lamps had handles and are often called "bale handled". They disappeared after about 1906.

Dennis,
The baled handled lights are Neverout safety lamps made by Rose Mfg.Co.,Philadelphia,USA.They were used on cars like the curved dash Oldsmobiles.

To my admittedly amatuer eye when it comes to Model Ts, this looks more like an amalgam of parts made to look like a fire department vehicle. Someone's fantasy concept or something.
But it is neat looking, either way and I would drive it...grin...
It's a typical post-WWII speedster.
Appears to be an assembly of parts based on an early Severson speedster body package.
Matt, your car kind of looked like this 1909 Canadian car in Bill Killen's book at first.
Your car does have the accessory Firestone rims and a different body and cowl lights.
