Re: Getting their picture taken
The first two and the tenth pictures are interesting! I can't imagine going fishing and catching a fish wearing a suit! or second man without hands driving a Model T' It even looks like he has a tool box.
And the tenth picture. Looks like an axle, but where is the brake drum or wheel? In fact I don't even see the rear spring?

Re: Getting their picture taken
In the second picture the man with no hands car has some kind of starting device in front of the radiator. I wonder if it could be an inertia starter as was widely used on aircraft engines. I've often wondered why they weren't used more on auto engines before the days of electric starters.

Re: Getting their picture taken
I can’ make out the the sign on his hood, but he probably lost his hands in the Great War and is presenting himself as a sort of sideshow. The contraption he is standing behind may be a foot operated music box or organ for attracting the attention of paying curiosity seekers.
In the 10th picture, the car is sitting on a barrel. No doubt his rear end went out, preventing him from driving to the nearest mechanic, necessitating a field repair. Jim Patrick

Re: Getting their picture taken
In the 7th picture I don't think the rear fender would be in the
shape it is if the old guy had of driven the car instead of the kid.

The T in picture 11 must be carrying over 1,000 lbs. of people with no problem. Looks like it may be a brand new car with a lot of friends, relatives or neighbors who have never ridden in an automobile and are taking their first ride. Jim Patrick

Re: Getting their picture taken
The man without hands also lost the sight in one eye after a seagull pooped in it..... he forgot and tried to wipe his eye.
