Brought this 23 Coupe back from Jordan MN. It was kept in Stan's Model T Shop at the Scott Carvers Fairgrounds since 1969
After a week of work it's on the road in the Wisconsin Rapids, WI area. It will be on display at the Badger Gas and Steam show in Baraboo, WI August 19th - 21st.

Very nice. Looks great. I like the Venetian blind.

That is one nice looking Coupe...PLEASE post more pictures of it inside and out. It must be an early '23 because it has suicide doors.

That is one fine looking Coupe. I enjoy my '22 so you must have fun owning that one.
Thanks for showing the picture.
I would enjoy seeing more too.

Nice looking 23! I’ll bet it was a very nice original car that was probably repainted. It probably has the original wood in it too. Any history about its upkeep or about its engine that you know of?
I went to a retired business owners auction in the 70’s and he had a Coupe like this one that was a 1920 that was great shape like this one and I’ve often wondered what became of it.

If it has Minnesota Pioneer license plates that are lower than approximately #2100, I can look the number up for you and tell you to whom they were originally registered.

My opinion is like someone else said about the suicide door coupes on the forum before, if it was after June in 1923, it wasn't a 23, the 24's were out and they were redesigned and the doors hinged from the front and states varied as to what year they gave the car. I know someone will say they have a 23 with the front hinged doors. Well whatever. Anyway a look at the interior I would say is 1960 ish or sooner.
