By Rick Cicciarelli on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 08:53 pm:1913 Nice
By Rich Bingham on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:12 pm:Kewl !! The door sagged even when new . . . hey, maybe that's MINE ?!?
(Rick - you're getting pretty sharp at model IDs !)
By Rick Cicciarelli on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:17 pm:Rich, I've got nothing else to do right now except drool over photos of OTHER people's wonderful cars 
Can't see the corners of the turtledeck, but the windshield brackets and the doors stand out as '13. Anything else I should know to look for from this angle to signify '13 or '14? I think windshield and doors are probably the most obvious. It's all fun.
By Rick Cicciarelli on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:19 pm:Speaking of sagging doors....
By Rick Cicciarelli on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:21 pm:More "study photos"
By Herb Iffrig on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:28 pm:The second from last photo has pinstripes on the spokes.
By Rick Cicciarelli on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:36 pm:So does the 1st picture at the top of this post.
By Rich Bingham on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 10:41 pm:These are some great photos of '13 roadsters ! Sagging doors and all ! Thanks, Rick
By Keith Townsend ; ^ ) Gresham, Orygun on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 11:04 pm:The second to the last one does not have a sagging door, but does have a sagging speedometer cable.

By Gilbert V. I. Fitzhugh on Sunday, February 12, 2017 - 11:43 pm:Are the doors really sagging, or just not shut?
By Tim Wrenn-Monroeville OH on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 08:45 am:I vote for doors not being closed. But then, maybe they keep popping open, typical of at least the rear doors of the '13 tourings! I've not read of any real body sagging issues with the runabouts as much as the tourings. As I recall (now this goes into scary territory!) the reason for the tourings sagging issues was the "back half" was actually separate from the front half? Larry...you'll know!!
By Jim Dix on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 08:54 am:That is true.
The only connection is the rather small sills until the brackets came along.
Not Larry but I have a '13!

By Ken Parker on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 09:22 am:On the second picture above, the turtle deck has the bead around the bottom like the 1914's.

By Larry Smith, Lomita, California on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 11:41 am:The door in the first photo is not sagging, it just isn't closed. The runabouts didn't have the problems the tourings did. I have a '13 runabout with the original wood, and it's a good as the day they made the car.
By R.V. Anderson on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 11:46 am:Notice the screws in the hood support in the first and last photos. Not painted; probably bare brass or brass plate, which makes sense if you have seen the photo of the dash assembly bench in the Ford Methods book.
By Ken Parker on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 11:47 am:I should have said the third picture from the top has a lower bead on the turtle.

By Warren F Rollins on Monday, February 13, 2017 - 11:59 am:Larry, what is the story on beaded turtle decks ? Mine is not beaded. Also I believe the later turtle decks won't fit the body. Been long time since I restored mine and I have forgotten. Nice photos!
By Larry Smith, Lomita, California on Friday, February 17, 2017 - 06:22 pm:I'm out of town, but I think mine has beads top and bottom.
