Early but how early?

Herb Iffrig

It took me a minute, but I figured it out. The two photos of what looks like a Model S Runabout are of two different drivers. I suppose they took turns taking pictures of each other.

I have one of those trailers in as found condition. It is a Fruehauf like the one at the Ford Museum. It is very heavy.

Herb Iffrig

Thanks Tom.
Another good batch of photos.

On two occasions while visiting my son and his family I visited Norm at his house. Southern California is different than Missouri and going to the small town of Alpine was a treat. We had never met before, but I was welcomed as if we had been old friends He always had an interesting story or two to ...

It looks like photo no. 6 might have been turned upside down.
It might be an early 09. It looks like the door handle is pretty far down on the door panel.

Herb Iffrig

Bill I sent you an email.

Herb Iffrig

Does anyone have a link to Richard Eagle's posting of how he made new sockets.
I did a search but did not find it.
I think it was under a different subject may be something to do with his way of spending time?

Herb Iffrig

What does the back look like?

Herb Iffrig

On the fourth photo down, it looks like a tire saver patch on the front tire of the Model S Roadster.

I suppose the paint would wear off of the crank handle.

Epiphany Sunday.

Thank you Rob for doing all of this research. You seem to have a knack for it. It is appreciated.

Herb Iffrig

Perhaps the spurious front axle is why the vehicle flipped on it's side.

Herb Iffrig

The last photo of the Torpedo Roadster appears, or looks like a later photo by just looking at the clothes on the men in the car.
The car also is missing the horn, which is a sometimes unique part for that car. It could also be a regular 1911 horn sometimes too.

Herb Iffrig

This looks like a fairly early Model T.

Any comments?

Herb Iffrig

It looks like you just started one.

Herb Iffrig

Thanks for bring this to the top.
I do miss Richard's postings.

So then would the 1903 Ford photo be a fake with the bulb horn floating above the steering wheel? I know that the 1909 REO cars had a canvas under the engine and drive chain to prevent grass and weeds from becoming entangled in the chain. I have never heard of that being used under the early Fords. ...

Photo no. 12 appears to be a 1903 Ford. I am not familiar with what is hanging under the car. Can some one zoom in on the license plate to see what state it is from?

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

The windshield on the blue one looks like the way the windshield is fitted on mine. I have always considered mine to be correct because of the research that I have done. There should be a long brass cover to keep the rain from leaking through the crack dividing the upper and lower sections of the wi...

I finally watch this to see what it was about.

Herb Iffrig

Does anyone know who owns the 1909 REO pictured above?

Once in a while we can sneak a Model T in here.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

I see that now too Robert.

Herb Iffrig

Anyone want to try to identify them?

Herb Iffrig

I put this on the ot forum, but then I remembered it has a Model T in it too.

It will fit the interest of most of us here.

The pit bull made me think of the story of the Winton thar crossed America. Horatio's Ride I think it was called.

These guys are in Australia. They restore World War II tanks that have been used as targets over the years. They get them running again. This is one example of what they go through to make a part.

Is it running an electric motor or is that an electric motor running it?

Number 4 appears to be a wedding day photo in a 1911 Torpedo roadster.

I spoke to Jim Finney about forty years ago. I remember him as a nice man.
I think I might still have a mimeogragh type of catalog he sent me with parts he had for sale.

Will there be an EFR meeting at Hershey this year?
If so when and where?

Thank you.

My grandson Leo came by with his mom Mandy today. She took this photo.

I thought it turned out well.

Where was Monkeyville?

I don't know what is going on here.

From what I know it looks like the early style radiator. I think you are referring to the body. The early ones I know of were the tulip-style bodies.

Herb Iffrig

Herb Iffrig

Very well done.

Looks like fun. Keep the photos coming.

Neat wheels.

Why would this carburetor have a drip oi

Look at the elaborate foot rest frame.

Most likely a 1916, just because the headlight and side light rims don't look to be brass rimmed.

An early one I think. Is the rear door handle low?
It is hard to tell.

Herb Iffrig

I guess not just for men.

Herb Iffrig

It harkens back to the sign above the door in this photo.

Very well done. Thank you for making the video. And thank you for posting it here.

It is funny they both have a NRS Ford peeking out of the door.

Wouldn't you want to walk into that picture?

Can someone enlighten us?
