Not sure that is an old photo.

The T belongs to a famous MTFCA member. Looks like mobile homes and a tennis court in the background.

Looks like it may have real Rocky Mountains on it.

I think that may be the original car and the member you refer to made one like it. He did a wonderful job.

Ed Archer's sightseeing T.

He found the remains of this sighting seeing bus in a ditch and restored the T to its original look. Was covered well in a years ago issue of Model T Times.

That's a nifty T for sure. The big brake drums might be on a TT rear end, which wouldn't be surprising on a T that long.

Here are a few photos during restoration:

Looks like a standard T Ruckstell rear end.

A modern van can be seen in the original photo of this thread.

I do not recall what brakes it has. I know it has (or had) a Muncie under/direct/overdrive with reverse transmission and standard T Ruckstell rear end. Even with the Muncie, the driveshaft was longer than standard T. A wonderful restoration.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

The restored one was the star of a Vintage Ford cover a few years ago.
