Re: Got some new ones in.
Actually in photo No. 15 the car does have wheels and tires on the mud side. The image is dark enough that they appear to blend in with the mud. When lightened, you can see the outline of the tire top on the front, and same with the back wheel.

Re: Ouch!
I think Wayne S may have a good possible explanation in that it was an electric car body that was transferred to a Model T chassis. One thing I noticed in the photo is that the hood top and sides are not standard Model T. The hood looks like it slants upward from the radiator to the body much more t...

Re: Ouch!
There is a video of Henry Ford giving John Burroughs a ride in 1916 in a Model T coupe with a very unusual body. This is a still from that video. Note the doors opening at the rear, and the unusual cowl. So it is not too much of a stretch to think there may have been an early version of a sedan? [im...

Re: Anyone using this mirror?
Installed one on my 1918 touring car. After years of frustration with a mirror from Lang's, this one worked fantastic! Stays in position and isn't vibrating so bad you can't see traffic behind you.

1917 Model T Touring 360.00 Dealership
Found this on the internet today. Dealership was in Black Creek, WI. Perhaps it has been posted before, but I have never seen it. Great large sign on top of building promoting the New 1917 Ford Touring for 360.00

Re: What happened in this famous photo?
In the photo of the trolley that John posted, note what appears to be a coupler on the front of the trolley on the left side of the photo. If they hit head on, that would actually correspond to the drivers fender of the Model T which is punched in and damaged, but the fender on the passenger side of...

Re: What happened in this famous photo?
Could it have hit the rounded low protruding front of a street car? Perhaps at an angle? That would force the front of the wheels apart and also do damage below the headlights while leaving the headlights intact. Notice the streetcar in the background, and the tracks next to the platform.

Re: Planning a visit to the Henry Ford Museum
If you think there is any chance you might be able to visit again within 12 months, buying a membership is a much better value they paying the separate one day admission charge for Greenfield Village and a second one day charge for the Henry Ford Museum. Definitely look carefully at the different op...

Re: Titling a 1912 T to the Car Number or Engine Number?
I helped a friend buy a 1914 Model T from the original family two years ago. When he was looking at the car, he was concerned that the engine number did not match the number on the current title. The family had a lot of paperwork from new, including the original title and the original bill of sale! ...
