Re: Cleaning out the drawer
The 9th photo down looks like a new 19 or 20 Coupe. That’s a nice shot of the new spare tire rim that’s on the car. If that’s a new T it’s one that hasn’t been driven very long! The Black paint still has that new glow on it even through its a black and white photo!
The next to last photo of the Runabout must be one from the 30’s or 40’s.
The body is rusted through right below the drivers side. This T was old and slow by the time this photo was taken. You can just see a mid 30’s car in the photo.
Another interesting thing is the chalk drawing on the T Runabout. Anybody remember who this cartoon character is? He was one of the seven dwarfs in a Disney movie that was produced in 1937! I can’t believe it was that long ago. So this proves the runabout pic is at least 1937.

Re: Cleaning out the drawer
Tom, you have provided us with the most amazing collection of pictures of Model Ts. I've enjoyed looking at and analyzing each and every one of them. Thank you. I do hope that the topic of your post doesn't mean that you are now down to the end of your collection.

The fourth picture of Grove City has a very similar look one day of the year. It is the first coffe stop of the New London New Brighten Antique car run.

Re: Cleaning out the drawer
John K, The cartoon character is in fact supposed to be Dopey from the 1937 Disney film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". The rendition is poor, so that I did not recognize him when I first looked at this thread, and I had to look closer to see it. Dopey was the only one of the seven dwarfs in Disney's film that did not have a beard.
And yes, I do indeed need to again shout out a THANK YOU! to Tom R for posting so many wonderful pictures.
