Sorry it was my typo. Ford Catalog that Rich used was 1917 not 1919.
Glad there’s always someone out there to catch an error.

It was great to have you at the Museum today! We usually recognize the Ts when they pull in so it was fun to see some “newbies!” Glad you took a photo of the three Ts in front of the Agency building. Hope you enjoyed the time here and in the Richmond Depot District and didn’t leave without Ullerys H...

I sure will, Jonah!
