Re: Down by the river.
Picture number eight. Look closer! My first thought was a mid 1917, an early "black era" T touring car with the even folding windshield. I zoomed in for a closer look at the windshield and noticed the front fenders are the flat 1915/'16 style. It appears to have been updated using genuine later Ford radiator and hood.

Re: Down by the river.
I couldn't make out the state or year of the license plate. However, the smaller tag on the radiator number seems to match the larger license plate. Texas I know used such smaller tags for the front during a few years of the 1920s. I do not know when it began or ended. Maybe a clue to when the photo was taken?
Numbers ten and fourteen appear to be actual 1917 model Ts with even folding windshields.

Number eight again. That is a brass radiator hiding under that later shell!

Wayne, #8's larger license plate looks like a 1923-24 Texas plate to me.

Re: Down by the river.
Photo #1 has 1911 Illinois license plates. 1911 was the first year the state issued plates. Starting in 1912 IL plates also had the year.

Re: Down by the river.
The larger plate is a 1919 TEXAS plate has vertical TEXAS left & right. The 1925 plate has TEXAS on the left but the year on the right. The smaller plate underneath appears to be a "Motor Vehicle License Seal" issued each year retaining the original plate.

Re: Down by the river.
Number 4 appears to be a wedding day photo in a 1911 Torpedo roadster.
