If you had a hubcap wrench for 1926-27, Ford made a change to fit that condition.

If you think that the Noera Mfg. can with the patent information stamped on the cover, like the photos that you posted, is right for your 1912, I have an extra one like that. Send a private message for more information.

Re: oil can 1912

I think that is what Larry Smith was referring to in his comment. I may be wrong, but I do not know if any...

Even though this NOS side curtain is labeled for 1925, I think that it is actually for 1926-27 roadsters. The "sockets" that are installed inside the rear top bows on 1926-27 roadsters and tourings must have the extra lip to project through the grommets on the rear side curtains. ( I think Larry Smi...

The 1915 horn does not need to be a Rubes horn. Standard and Nonpareil also supplied the bulb horns to Ford. These two horns were made by Standard. The black horn pictured has a reed, and is actually quite loud.
