I was going through some of my old automotive books, and out of one of them, dropped a Illinois State Tax Stamp, for the above car, which was listed as a Model T Tudor. This would have been a 1919 car, going by the engine serial number dating records.
If someone has this car, and can send me a photocopy of the title (mutilated) I will happily send them this stamp. It really belongs with the car.
(MUTILATED, means that i just need a section of the title, not the whole photocopy. I only want enough to demonstrate that this is the vehicle the stamp belonged to originally.)
Ask around if you know someone with a 1919 Tudor Sedan. I'm sure they would like to add this to their car paperwork. I am not selling this.
It is of absolutely no value to me, or to anyone else who does not own that particular vehicle, thus the search. If I can find the owner, I will mail the stamp to them for free, just to get it back to the correct owner.
Thanks to everyone in the club!

The phrase "Tudor" was introduced in 1923 - prior Tudors were referred to as a "Centerdoor" - I'll have to check my number but our '19 Centerdoor originated in Washington and never left !

I don't believe Ford ever called them a "Centerdoor" any period advertisment, encyclopedia or Ford times called it a Sedan or Five passenger Sedan until 1924, then the Tudor.

Well, on the stamp it is listed as a "Tudor".
That could just be the state tax stamp guy's interpretation.

Model T’s were often misidentified ‘sort of’ because of what someone thought they were this or that. I have a 24 Coupe that was misdated at inspection stations as a 25 because they look so much alike. I still have the inspectors receipts.
Other T’s from 17-22 open cars look alike except for some details.
And then there’s the Dr’s Coupe theory! And what is a Tudor. Some folks would call a Coupe a Tudor because it had 2 doors. As time went on people would finally figure things out. Sort of!
