Picture 5 is very rare for two of the four women in the picture are extraordinarily beautiful. For some reason seeing women like this in a picture from the 1920’s is very uncommon. Due to the fact the two women are vastly outnumbered by the boys, the two women were very popular though the boys appear to be intimidated by them.

Picture 18 is very scary with the front of the T supported in the middle by a few blocks. Many shade tree repairs such as this ended badly when the car fell off the blocks and crushed the person working underneath. Jim Patrick

I see "Mom" in the very back with the two cuties -not seeing a third ?

This radiator wrap was neat to see.... doubt you'd find NOS in useable condition today.

You keep outdoing yourself, Tom!! The first thing that came to my mind with that one pic was this. Looking at the positive, at least he isn’t sitting in a puddle while welding underneath there, although he could be welding a hole in the gas tank! .

Yeh, Tim, while Tom always posts some fantastic pics, these seem to be really cool. I only 3 gals in pic #5, looks like 2 guys "clowning" cuddling? The various street pics are just amazing. And that farmhouse...no trees, no landscaping, and of course no A/C!! HOW did they survive!!

Steve, unless the guy sitting on the running board hugging someone is gay, the fourth female (or male) is leaning back against the rear fender. Not a beauty like the two beauties toward the front, but does resemble a short haired female more than a male, but it could be a guy. Jim Patrick

PS. Is the guy with his arm around the old lady holding a banana? Weird.

Picture 5's clothing styles suggest that the model T is likely fifteen to twenty years old. It may well have been taken during WW2. A lot of young men coming of age during the war, unable to get anything newer, got and used model Ts as their first car. Automatically allowed gas rationing, there was an advantage to having a license and a car for their family. They would often get an old model T from some local that was no longer using it, then fix it up and kick around with it until better (newer) cars became available. Not uncommon to see photos of high schoolers or young adults piled into old Fords during those years.

That blocking under the front of the car in picture 18 is scary. While there is a jack under the far end of the front spring, and may be one under the near end? Having a wedge in the stack of blocks can be deadly if the wedge is not somehow locked into place. I have seen wedges like that suddenly shoot out a few feet or topple the other blocks due to the angular pressure. Unstable jacks under the springs may not be adequate alternate support.

MANY years ago, I went with a friend to look at a 1922 Buick screenside
truck that was being sold by the owner's widow. The owner had recently
been crushed under the 1958 T-Bird he was working on, when it fell off
the blocks it was on (wheels removed).

The guy hugging the other guy ^ Is he giving us the finger?
Great pics!

That AERO-T in photo 8 is the most amazing work I’ve seen!

The owner likely a pilot and wants to travel on land in the cockpit.

Curved fabric covered roof overhead to mimic a fixed wing, rounded custom cowl and radiator shell, the wood prop in front. Curved windshield , oh what a beauty

Number 14 appears to be converted to a starter unit for the airplane behind it, using belts. I had seen the ww1 units that engage to the propeller but not a belt drive to the rear of the engine?
