Straightened it out.

#8 is that an air starter?

Great pics. The '14 in second pic has interesting demountable wheels.

Yes, great photos ! I have a friend with a '14 with similar wheels - demountable 5 lug Firestones !

Wonderful photos! So many details to look at.
I like how the back of the 1914's top was patched up to put the smaller framed glass oval light in the back. I wonder what the story is behind that? Such a large patch for a small window? Also notice the car has Hassler Shocks on it. They were an early accessory for model Ts, Advertising for them began about 1914.
A really nice 1915 touring car (4th picture), with a nice front bumper. A couple other cars decorated for parades.
The 6th photo, a 1913 touring car, has electrified headlamps, and an electric horn. No doubt a battery inside that running board box!
Next one (number 7) also a 1913 touring car, still with acetylene gas headlamps.
Number 8 is one of several famous photos of "The Man Without Hands". A remarkable story that can be found on the internet fairly easily. He deserves to be remembered for his perseverance overcoming a devastating accident to rise into a valued member of his community and an inspiration to handicapped people everywhere.

The model N Ford is great! Even better after you straightened it!
Do you mind if I share this one with the Early Ford Registry forum?

And we’re all so fastidious in maintaining 55-60 PSI in our 30” tires but a lot of the pics of empty Ts reveal very low tire pressure. They get more interesting every submission Tom. Thanks again !

Great pics as always. Thank you for posting the thread. The Model N is an early one (radiator). Again, thank you.

I like the expression of the people in 12 and 14. In 12 they all look sad like may be they didn't want their picture taken or maybe they were waiting for someone to come and fix the car! Number 14 the older folks are very serious and the younger they get the more mischievious they are!

Don't know why anyone would patch that up and destroy the visibility like that!

The townsfolk in picture # 1 seem unpreturbed by the presence of the Yeti.

Good one Pat!

Is that a huge cat on top of the stuff stacked on the hood?

Looks like a dog to me. I haven't seen a cat with long drooping ears like that.

I agree with Norm. I think it's a "dash-hound" ! (yuk, yuk)

As a society as a whole, we do a bad job maintaining and preserving things.

Well, at least it's not demolished yet, shame to see it boarded up...
