I had the pleasure of looking at this beautiful example in person today. Thought I would share it with the rest of you.

Absolutely stunning! I like seeing the '42 plate. Always impressed that so many people decided to keep them rather than send them in to the war scrap-drives.

That is a beauty! Looks like a bunch of relics around there. Are you going to take it home?

Looks like a 14

Wow! Outstanding! This thread should be entitled: “Model T-reasure”… Can you include more pictures? Is she for sale? Jim Patrick

Appears to be a 1913 - straight w.s. supports as the w.s. would fold forward not back as a '14 would. Doors also go down to the splash shields.

Is that a Vanguard or a Rand windshield?
Beautiful photos! Have fun out there!
The rear end is leaking oil. Good sign!
Jeepers that's pretty.

'13. Probly all original too. Quite the find.

They appear to be brass covered Vanguard hinges.

Take a closer look, that windshield folds in, not out. That's why I was thinking 14. After looking again it does look like 13 doors so I change my vote.

Maybe so Bob BUT it appears the upper w.s half would smack the steering wheel the way the whole assembly is leaning rearward !

I think the windshield is on backwards??

That is so nice to see. I built a '14 to look like that but it is so fun to see a "for real" one. I like that upholstery pattern. '14 was supposed to have straight channels and not the half diamond so I'd say it's a '13. I did mine like that. I think the doors do go all the way down.
Thanks so much for posting it.

Took a few more pictures. Very neat car

A few more.

The last ones.

Thank you for the additional pictures. Incredibly beautiful original T. Who owns it and where is it? Where was it kept that preserved it so beautifully? It belongs in a climate controlled museum to not only keep it in pristine condition, but to share it with the public. Jim Patrick

It has the unusual Victor Model 1 headlamps with the embossed steel bonnets, but the tail lamp and side lamps appear to be E & J.

Jim, from what I've read before, it's not unusual to have mis-matched lamps on brass cars. Supply issues even then, speed at "grabbing off the shelf" to meet the line, etc.

Thanks for the posting, Michael.
