Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2005: Photo Date?

A friend of mine is trying to date a family photo. Two of the cars in the pic look like early steel Ts built prior to 1923 but I thought some of you might be able to date the cars more accurately. I think the middle car is also a T, but couldn't see enough of it to be certain. Can you help with a date?

Oh, someone wrote 1921 on the back but that was just a guess.

Can you date this photo?

Paul-
The first car on the left looks like my '17 touring (right down to the seams, bow placement, and windows. See my profile pic), but I don't know enough to comment on the other two.

I don't believe the other car is a Model T. the first car has round wooden feloe wheels so I think Bob bishop is pretty close.

How long was it before Ford made changes to the rear body we might pick up from this photo?

The far car is a Center Door, can anyone tell its age?

Dig those crazy whitewalls on the near T! Very classy.

Paul

Dodge Bros. used side curtains similar to the car in the middle. Also looks like a one-man top (don't see any center bows). The tire on the first car could be a Fisk Redcap. They had white sidewalls and red rubber tread.

Sure looks like car #3 is a 1919 - 22 Model T center door sedan. I think the picture could be anywhere from 1920 - 1930. The cars are all from 1919 - 1922. Maybe the 1921 date on the back is a good one?
