Fourth picture. Is that steering wheel rigged up to accommodate a left arm above the elbow amputee? Throttle lever is in the right place but check out the position of the spark lever. He might be a double amputee, if that lever down by his right leg below the throttle is the throttle. I can’t see either arm. Jim Patrick

Also, notice the horn button, near his left knee.

It appears as though the strategically placed "cups" are for whatever is left of his arms to put into to control the steering.

First picture, rear axle moved forward for "wheelies". Third picture driving at a very young age. Eighth picture, Kid likes a hot seat! Ninth picture, looks like snow on ground with side curtains on car but man wearing no jacket and woman only a sweater. Wonder how cold it was?

Tenth picture. If that is a woman on the right, I’ll bet her kid was teased with, “Your momma wears army boots”.

Last picture. What celebration would include a Cuban flag (second car)?

Cuban flag? Maybe Spanish-American War vets?

Maybe the photo was taken in Cuba?

The background and the large house look very American, as does the little girl seen just beyond the lead car. Abe Lincoln was born on 2-12, and some of the passengers appear to be wearing Lincolnesque top hat replicas. Maybe it was a Lincoln's birthday / Remember the Maine comemoration, with Spanish American war vets participating. The trees look more like the 4th of July, but maybe the picture was taken in the Deep South, southern California, or Florida.

Would this T be a late 1911 or an early 1912?

My father was the town doctor in Ekalaka, MT, in 1949 when I was born. He exported Mom to Billings for my birth as he was concerned about delivering his baby with very little back up or support. That did not seem to matter to most other patients as they wanted him to do everything from rattlesnake bites to fairly major surgery. Not too long after I was born he determined that he wanted to be in a larger area and moved us to Billings. When i was 14, a friend from Ekalaka told us we could have his 1916 Model T which had been sitting where it died for many years. We got quite a few parts from it and then another friend went down and brought the whole car back.

The town was named after a Sioux lady who married a rancher who owned land in the area. It sits in far SE Montana with a paved road in and a gravel road out! The nearby Medicine Rocks State Park is home to unique sandstone formations and the Carter County Museum contains exceptional dinosaur fossils.

John H, With the higher firewall, and level across the top of the fore door and dummy door, it would be a moderately early 1912. Earliest 1912s and 1911s with fore doors added had lower firewalls with spacer boards between the firewall and windshield. That resulted in a need for the fore doors and dummy door to have a "step down" where it connected with the lower firewall. Along about mid to late December of 1911 and into February of 1912, the firewall was taller, eliminating the need for the filler board and the step down.
Somewhere around February of 1912, the first of at least three distinctively different "slabside" 1912 touring car bodies came about.

This one I think may be a late 1911,

Agree late 1911! I have an early 1911 without door at the front... I'm not the expert but my thoughts were based on fact.
