The model T. How do you see it?

2 for 2sday

I believe I was going through Decatur when I saw it like this.

That is an INDECATOR of being in Decatur.

Wouldn't that have been a DE-CAP-IT-TOUR?

Looks like she really blew her top! Don’t forget to fill up out of the horse trough on the way out

Maybe the way the nickel catches the light?

Dean just used a gatorade bottle.

Or for it’s Camaraderie?

My ‘23 has aspiring upper class distinction……..

Maybe it’s something familiar? A time gone by….

The Champions over wood sure looks good! Always like to see new pictures.

From my perspecTive, the T looked out of place at my Father's garage.

I was thinking the chevys looked out of place But add a few more T’s and that should change things

What else do you expect from me?

Maybe you like accessories?

Parting out?

That car was probably used as a display to show the insides of the car. We have in our area a chassis (without body) The chassis has the engine cut in half like that to show how it works for display at schools or in a car archive museum.

I think they bought that car on the installment plan...one piece at a time...Just ask Johnny Cash

Ok I will play, here is a shot taken on a tour I put together in 1998.

I could have wiped the dust off first. Art

That's a nice one Art. The light coming in a window can do such nice things.
Thanks

I see it as a hobby that need to be passed down so that it can continue for the next 100 years.

Maybe you just want to slow it down?…

Last year's Spokane National Tour.

Looks like a great turnout for that tour!

I love that Dallas

That will keep the dust down in more ways than one Rich!

I always love seeing that truck on the road.

While working on a painting with a reflection in a puddle I set this up with a model. It is a mirror image but from ground level.
FWIW

Theres more than meets the eye

Now that is a transformer!

Glad they left out the driveshaft!

90 posts so far. I have gone through this entire thread of photos of old Model T parts that make heavy use of Andy Warhol-like photo enhancements and have yet to see how it contributes to the Forum. I guess my not being a big fan of Andy Warhol may have something to do with my negative opinion. Sorry to those who like it. Just sayin’. Jim Patrick

The topic is Perspective
The subject is the Model T
The tool is Photography
The thread is for everyone
No one is forced to view
There are more participants than I
So where do we go from here?
To post or not to post?

POST! You’ll drive yourself crazy trying to please everyone. If someone doesn’t like it, it takes about 2 seconds to go to the next topic.

I totally understand where you are coming from Jim. There are threads and comments on this forum that I have little or no interest in. I have more of a visual perspective than some and enjoy looking at things from different view points. To me some of the images on this thread are very striking and interesting. Others, not so much. Each of us enjoy the Model Ts in our own ways and some quite differently than others. We have covered some subjects to death and there is only so much to say about a Model T. Yet it's always is great to see something new and different. Klamity Dick and several of the Non-Ford discussions on the Off Topic site are not viewed and even unwelcomed by some but give perspective of the hobby to others. Stricter control on what is allowed on this forum might make it less appealing to the wide variety of folks that enjoy it. It is easy to read what is interesting to each of us and not dwell on what might not be our cup of T. I believe having a lot of different things to look at is better than not seeing anything new here.
Many of my contributions aren't really needed here.
Just me.
Rich

Well said, Rich. Thank you !

As a repeat offender, I don't think of any posts on this forum as detracting from one's Model T experience. Discussion is healthy, and different "perspectives" are entertaining at the very least, and provide variety as we once more debate the efficacy of Marvel Mystery Oil, and puzzle over what titration of antifreeze to use. I appreciate how temperate and polite the posts here continue to be. It's a fine community we have here, regardless how one looks at things !

Thank you Rich and Rich. You both opened my eyes to a different perspective and I owe an apology to Bryant. Bryant is a great photographer and artist and obviously loves the Model T and for me to discourage his willingness to share his love, talent and viewpoint with us was wrong. Please disregard my post and continue posting your photos. Anything featuring a Model T or Model T part is appropriate and relevant to this Forum. Jim Patrick

Hats off to you Jim ! You are a true gentleman !!

Even criticisms and suggestions can help us shape what we post and how we present it. We often forget that we all have different tastes and view points. This forum has become far more polite and civilized than some times in the past.
I thank all of you for your kind and thoughtful contributions.
Rich

Well said Rich, and keep 'em coming Bryant. Not everyone has talent like you two but thanks for your encouragement to have a try,
Cheers
Adrian
