I have this famous and much distributed photo at 186kb. Does anyone here know where I could find a much larger copy? I tried Shorpy but couldn't find it even though it might be there. Thanks.

What do you mean by larger? Larger in file size or larger in dimensions? These two attributes are entirely different. You should be able change the dimensions yourself.

If you do a "keyword search" for "Henry Ford", then go to the maximum pics per page (24), it's on page seven. THF photo number is 2500. The caption reads "Henry Ford with 1921 Model T, Buffalo, New York"

You may get it with just a search of "THF2500" (I didn't try that).

Yes, just go to this link and search "THF25000" (type in the Enter Keyword box at the top):

Dave,
I didn't try Paul's link (I was in a hurry to get out the door). It works great, disregard my feeble attempts :-(

Having seen this photo many times over the years I just now noticed the T in the picture has a lock steering wheel on it.

Was this Fords personal car or one he used for a photo op.

Just wondered if anybody else noticed the lock wheel.

The Henry Ford links only gave me 125kb but, the link Paul posted gave me exactly what I needed at 874kb. Lots of detail in that pic, I can see two dents near the top of the rad. No wonder Henry is guarding it. Now I can make a large print for the wall. Thanks everyone.

Photo is clear in detail in reality, but lost sharpness in resizing.

Terry, that looks like a good garage photo. The kind you glance up at everytime you do something stupid while working on your T.

I have it hanging in my garage. If anyone wants a copy, I'll see what the cost to reproduce would be. My cost, plus shipping.
