Re: The Ford
I wonder if those 5 1/2 people actually rode in that centerdoor. And, of course, another adult has to sit on the hood of a ‘New and Improved’. I cannot fathom the thought that so many of the era enjoyed sitting on a T’s hood 
it thanks again for the old photos Tom

In that first photo, they better tie down their hats if they go for a ride. Especially the woman in the back seat!

Re: The Ford
That banker sure is proud of his new bank and his shiny Ford automobile, 1929 was still a long time away

Re: The Ford
The sixth picture is an early 1926 touring car! It has a 1925 California license plate on it.
It also has a small badge or emblem under the "Ford" script on the radiator shell. I can't tell what it is, maybe "Tin Can Tourist"? With the 1925 license plate, the car cannot be more than a few months old.

Re: The Ford
Thanks, Tom!
The first car looks to be a Hayes bodied touring. If I had to put a date on it, I'd say 1912. The side curtain fastener are at the top of the fore-door. Earlier cars had the side curtain fasteners at the bottom of the door opening, like on the non-fore-door cars. My car has them under the fore-doors. Don't ask me how one would get in and out of of the car with fore-doors and side curtains!
