Chuck,
Thank you for sharing the photo! That is a fairly early '15 T touring, it has brass trim on the lamps.
Thanks again.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

I too would guess July 4, 1915 is the actual date for this nice photo.

Actually, I mis-typed the caption. It said 1916.

what's even more interesting, I think, is that it's a plank road.

Think permafrost.

Gary

only if permafrost comes in 10" wide slabs and lasts through July. Check behind the rear wheel of the Ford.

here's a picture of similar near Ketchikan

When the frozen soil melts in springtime, the mud on dirt roads gets deep fast - I guess the mud season is long in many regions of Alaska?
A plank road on the main street sounded like a good idea back before they had excavators for drainage and asphalt technology.
