By George Andreasen on Thursday, August 16, 2018 - 11:20 am:Ummmm..........a T trying to be a Mack? It actually looks pretty dressy for a work vehicle.
By Dallas landers on Thursday, August 16, 2018 - 11:51 am:The guy driving looks happy but a little pale.
By James A. Golden on Thursday, August 16, 2018 - 06:45 pm:The cab looks correct for a late 1926-27 Model T or early 1928-29 Model A.
The serial number on the engine will help date the manufacture.
It may have been a custom for a specific purpose.
A rear and side photo would be great to see.
By Kenneth W DeLong on Thursday, August 16, 2018 - 06:55 pm:Did Dodge use it in their-Don't you buy no ugly truck add's? Bud.
By Steve Humphrey on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 07:03 am:I don't know what it is..but if it were here I would be working on it. i LIKE IT.
By Ed Baudoux Grayling Michigan on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 09:22 am:I don't think the cab and other sheet metal is Ford. It may be either a swapped other make, or aftermarket.
By Adam Doleshal on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 09:30 am:Real square looking hood and trunk. Wonder if parts of it might be a Bub body???

By Ralph Sullender on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 10:14 am:No radiator cap could it be air cooled ? experimental ?
By G.R.Cheshire (La Florida!) on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 01:22 pm:Is the trunk full of batteries?
By Tim Eckensviller - Thunder Bay, ON on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 01:26 pm:Good point G.R. - no crank and no pan to be seen!
By Dean Kiefer - Adams, MN on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 04:05 pm:With the hood louvers and grille, I don't think it would be electric?
By Mike Garrett on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 05:53 pm:I see Model T fenders, undercarriage, headlights, etc. but the grille shell, hood, and cab are NOT Ford.
Gotta be a home-built.
By Vern (Vieux Carre) on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 06:01 pm:If it was originally a 26-7, would most likely have electric start and crank not absolutely necessary. Missing headlight crossbar for a 26-7.
By Dennis Brown on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 09:20 pm:Earlier front fenders and headlight mounts, Hassler front shocks
There is a seam going down the side of the trunk that is not shown in the diagrams pictured.
Is it my eyes or it appears that the hood is solid with the cowl and only the lower louvered portion swings out
By Jeff Hood -Long Beach, California on Friday, August 17, 2018 - 10:26 pm:Look real close at the grille shell. There is a seam in the middle and what looks kind of like a rain gutter. I think the shell is a narrowed turtle deck. Maybe there was an engine swap requiring a higher hood.
By Rich Bingham, Blackfoot, Idaho on Saturday, August 18, 2018 - 10:14 am:Maybe the "ghost driver" is a clue ? Perhaps an odd collection of sheet metal parts that happened to fit together was assembled on a Model T bare frame just for fun ? Lots of questions that could only be answered if we could crawl all over the thing in real life. I don't think the radiator shell could be a 1914-22 turtle deck without a lot of modification ?!?
What a fun puzzle. Thanks for posting it Tim !
