Re: More pics
Can you imagine the sense of freedom that early cars brought to people? Going to town for my dad used to be a whole day event before they got their Model T Touring in 1917... With the T everything got "closer," and people were free to set out farther afield than was ever possible using horses. Talk about a paradigm shift....the car changed our way of life more than anything else up to that time. Not to mention the fact that cities smelled better when the number of horses was reduced The early part of the 20th century would have been an exciting time to live (as long as you didn't need medical care.) One of the things I like about owning a Model T is the chance to experience a little of what it was like in those times. Maybe that's why I fly a 75 year old airplane....a way to commune with the past. Hey, when was the last time you were in an airplane where you could slide the window back and stick your elbow into the breeze?

Re: More pics
Another bunch of wonderful photos!
Pictures five and six center-door sedans are interesting. Both with oil sidelamps and 30X3 front wheels indicating that they are 1917 or 1918 models. Picture number six shows the car with visor headlamp lenses of the style used for a short time in 1920, but the over-axle wishbone and lower brace confirms the sidelamp and wheel type model year assessment as likely 1917/'18 (could possibly be early 1919).
I also noticed the 1913 runabout in both #3 and #12.
Number 17, the fellow standing behind a 1926/'27 roadster? I know I have seen that one somewhere before? Interesting tail lamp.

Hey there Tim J!
How is that leg doing after the Fordson tried to rip it half off?
Looking good in that Aeronca!

The 17th picture has a 26-27 Roadster. The tail light is a Model A taillight mounted upside down.

Re: More pics
Tim,
I thoroughly endorse your sentiments! There's nothing like old iron to bring back a sense of the times.
Out of interest I include a couple of photos of 'my' old aeroplane, one of daughter in the RH seat, the other a 'working' view - and yes you can open the windows
The design is now more than 85 years old and was first made shortly after the Model A finished production. It's quite probable the odd 'T' part, if not complete T, was carried in them, most certainly many T owners. I'd suggest these machines had a similarly large impact on the world as the Model T did, albeit they weren't really a 'personal' craft as such...

Re: More pics
What does the emblem on the radiator of the 13 model in photo 3 and 12 represent?

Re: More pics
Allan, Both the pictures aren't clear enough for me to figure out what the thing/logo/initials whatever are, but I do not recognize it. Things like that were fairly common in this country back in the 1910s. Not only could one buy their car's maker name (marque), one could order special cut personal initials. Many clubs, both automotive and other things, offered logos to their members. Cities and tourist destinations would offer such things for car owners to brag about where they have been or how far they had to drive to be somewhere else. Even before the license plate toppers of the 1920s and 1930s, these were a forerunner of the bumper stickers we know and love (?) today.
I also wondered what it was, but couldn't figure enough of it out.
