The man who posts most of these is Mr. Rooteib who makes aftermarket body panel reproductions sold by many vendors.. He has many pictures which he has collected over the years so he can see the configuration of the bodies. Thank you for posting them

I do not in any way want to take away the well deserved accolades of Tom's collection that he shares, but you can also access plenty of pics by just googling "vintage pictures of Model T's", along with current pics of various T's in various situations. But no one can outdo what Tom does, and we hope he never quits!!

Number 1 photo and the third from bottom are the same car, looks like they have a steering stabilizer of some sort attached to the center of the axel. Jim

WHAT??!! Are you home already? What did you do? Drive straight through?

As long as you (and any people with you?) and the touring made it home safe and sound.

The first and third from the last photo's car is two of the best era photos I have ever seen showing the one year only 1921 green shade headlamp lenses. The driver's side rotated a bit more than did the right side lens. Must have been before the flat edges were added to prevent lenses from rotating.

Photo number ten is a touring car with a fixed roof winter top installed! Note the high door handle above the front of the rear door.

Took 5 days to get home. Light snow twice and rain 2 days. Start about 7am and shut it off around 9pm. I’ll feel it for a couple days, but everything got here fine with the exception of the rear spring. Hit a couple good dips after crossing bridges causing the car to want to jump off the floor, stretching the spring to extremes knocking some of that pretty paint off the joints. I’ll have to touch it up.

Another fine example of info that Wayne has been telling us for years in the 3rd picture from the top. An obvious well worn late ‘14 touring (bill front fenders and cast iron crank handle) with ‘15 ‘style’ curved rear fenders. I believe the results of his research that a long transition period was evident between the two model years.

Here is another one, Wayne.

Edit. The photo split for some reason but it is correct if you click on it.
