Wonderful photos! I've always wondered, when you have all those similar looking Ts in one place, how do you remember which one is yours?

Thanks for posting. I'm sure most of the viewers on this form look at them and don't comment at times. I wish camera's were a bit more common a few years earlier to catch some of the early brass auto's. Thanks again for your efforts. Pat

After my comments the other day concerning automobiles being painted white or other really light colors? I thought I should point out that in this group of era photographs, there are more than seventy automobiles that can be seen well enough to determine whether the car is a dark or light color. Only one of them is a light color. Picture13/17, Lyons Nebraska, parked next to a crowd of people across the street from the Heintz sign. A large touring car.
There are a lot of men NOT wearing coats! So it must have been a really warm day. With all the flags out, likely July 4th.

Guess you'd have to hope you could at least remember your license plate number!!

Here's main street on my home town. I live two blocks from where the photo was taken and all the buildings are still there. Don't know what happened to the Model T.

Someone once said that was one reason people would paint the wheels on their Model T a color other than black so they could find it easier in a sea of T's

People have always modified their daily drivers to their liking with little concern for the opinions of others. T's >> Gow Jobs, Hot Rods, Rat Rods, Trailer Queens

Mine is the Ford touring car with Bauer steering wheel and Ruckstell. (I wish!)

Don't ever stop posting these photos Tom!
