Another selection of incredible era pics of Model T s. Thanks to Tom ! But I never knew adults could actually sit on hoods without crumpling the hoods And No 238 No 107 roadster: is that headlamp rims and lenses as rear ‘windows’?

I wonder why so many people liked to sit straddling the hood and radiator? It would seem that it could be very hot there unless the picture was taken before the engine had been run.
I had a friend in high school who liked to go up a steep hill and then take off the radiator cap and make a geyser! He did that the day before his wedding and had to appear before his bride with a scalded face! He got too close.

I believe the windows are indeed headlight lenses.

On photo #2, I figured finally a photo of a 1925 pickup! But, it is not a '25! It's either a 23 or a 24. The first clue is the steering wheel. It is a 16" wheel. Too small for a 1925. Next. The pickup box was added later on, and was mounted back too far, maybe just a 1/2 or less. There is only about 1/4" gap on a real 1925. I believe this photo could have been taken in the thirties?

Larry S, I sure appreciate your insights on these photos! Thank you.
The old touring top on that pickup is in really rough shape! But I guess shade is shade? Interesting location to mount a horn, and notice the rear view mirror!
I am not sure either, but I "think" it is a 1923 low hood car.

Great pictures Tom. I would have had a crush on the girl straddling the hood if I’d lived back then. She’s the cats pajamas, the bee’s knees and the cat’s meow all rolled into one.

Fifth picture looks like a 6’-6” longshoreman that could give us tall men lessons on how to get into and drive a Model T. Watching him fold himself up, squeeze into and drive his little Model T might have been comical. A big, tough guy hunched over the steering wheel with his knees positioned on each side of the steering wheel… Just don’t let him hear you laughing Jim Patrick
