Photos of an early Model T

Post by Herb Iffrig » Thu Jul 30, 2020 2:54 pm

Since there is a discussion right now regarding Model T no. 220 I thought I would put these photos of an early Model T for you to discuss. I seem to remember reading that headlights were an option on the first Model T's and that the forks were standard equipment.

Not super early
The earliest T's had front fenders that were squared off & had no bill .
about mid year the door locks were changed & the door handles were slightly higher, as they are on this car .

Perry, you must have been on the turps last night! How can 7.30 equate to a shadow entirely under the car? Or is that a US phenomenon? :lol:
