Re: Got to get me one of these Fords
Photo number 8 shows a 1914 tourer with rounded corner doors but an earlier forward folding windscreen usually associated with 1913 models. Is that a carry over thing seen before?

Maybe a carry over thing. Most likely a dealer assembled car and they were using up what they had on hand. Or maybe the owner preferred the fold outward windshield and had it put on.

Re: Got to get me one of these Fords
Carryover of old stock from factory is more than likely. Sure looks like a grumpy family, as the 3 in Pic #12...bunch of pickle-pusses!
And as so often...the "cosmetic condition" of these cars is just crazy. Faded filth I call it!
As always thanks Tom for the neat pics.

Re: Got to get me one of these Fords
WHAT IS MARTY FELDMAN DOING BEHIND THE CAR IN THE FIRST PIC??
Is he back there with Frau Blucher? Or perhaps carrying a jar with "Abby Normal's" brain in it?
Model T's WON'T whinny when you call out "Frau Blucher!!", either!

Re: Got to get me one of these Fords
That 1914 T has the 'correct 1914 windshield. Look at the bowleg supports. 1913 supports were straight. The upper half of the windshield is shorter than the bottom portion. What is interesting with this photo is the orientation of the horn. Maybe Original Smith cans head some light on this.
