Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2012: Trying to id a Model T

I'm doing some work on my family tree and discovered the attached old picture with what I think is a Model T. The picture likely was taken between 1915 and 1920 based on the age of the people in it. Can someone give me info on the car?

Model T in picture?

1914 - The door opening doesn't go all the way to the splash apron.

1914, the windscreen stays are bent to allow the top screen to fold to the rear.

Thanks, guys. Appreciate the help. I certainly wasn't aware of the subtle differences in model years.

This is not a later picture of an old car. Those long skirts and high button shoes almost guarantee it's before 1920.

You're right. The lady on the right was my great-aunt who was born in 1894. The guy was (or became) her husband. They were married sometime between 1915 and 1920 based on census records. I can't see a ring on either his or her finger, so best guess is that the picture was taken before 1920.

Carl, I have been on this forum for many years, and can pretty much assure you that, by the time this thread has ended, you will know the shoe sizes of each of the people who helped assemble that car... :-)
