Re: There’s always one.
That second picture of the 26 with the top down and the side curtains still up, at first glance I though it was a 31 Model A slant window sedan! I have never seen side curtains that remained up with the top down!

Re: There’s always one.
Great photos Tom, I really like seeing the Model T powered railroad work cars. The about 9th picture from the bottom is of the first rail shipment of new Fords to Coalinga California, in Fresno County, 1913.

Re: There’s always one.
Steve - Your comment about the horn on the torpedo speedster prompted a second look at that photo, and a more careful "study" causes me to notice several other interesting features of that car. Odd cut-off running board, and some sort of "structure" between the oversize gasoline tank and what appears to be a (luggage rack)...? Whatever that is seems to be "padded" or somthing between it's upper edge and the gas tank. I'll bet that big gas tank being full, or partially empty makes a big difference in that speedsters traction and handling in ice & snow, huh? As always Tom,...thanks for posting more GREAT photos from your collection,....harold

Re: There’s always one.
The front fender is AWOL as is the factory trunk.
