Looks like the lady's at the wheel too!
Nice to see evidence of the correct top boot (or whatever its really called) also, with the little flap. I literally paid extra to have that on my '13s. Now to determine what year it quit being there.

Tim, assuming the photo is not reversed, for the woman to be the pilot this would have to be RHD. I assume a RHD car would have to have the generator on the right side also. Therefore I think the driver is a male (assuming clothing norms for that period!).

You can be sure those folks knew what it takes to put chicken on the table.

Terry, always a fun puzzle as to whether the photo is reversed or not. Horn and generator appear to be on the left side of the car, but the door has hinges ! I think I can tell the buttons on the vest of the gent at left indicates the photo is not reversed ?

The man sitting on left front looks like Abe Lincoln, however, Abe died many years before the T was built! What looks like the woman's arm is actually the brim of the hat of the man standing on the right side!

I don't see door hinges for the front 'door'? I see something there, but not quite in line with where the door edge should be.
The horn is visible under the side lamp. So it appears to be left side driven. Probably just another common USA 1914.

Sharp eyes, Wayne! I mistook two carriage bolts for a hinge. I'm sure you're right, "just" another common ol' U.S. '14. Sigh. :roll:

Fantastic photo! Was it cool outdoors perhaps? Some covered hands.
The portion of the photo of the couple in the front seat gets muddy.
As if the fellow's legs are inside the lady's dress as it obscures part of the steering wheel.
Did they have a light blanket on? His legs look crossed? He wiggled and blurred it?.
Rob, your colorized version adds to Jay's original. :)
As we've seen before, the tires need a shot of air. Thanks for the neat pic Jay!
I should keep my typing fingers to myself yet it prompted me to post. ;)
Since I lost my mind mind, I feel more liberated
