Rarely get to see original era photos of depot hacks, here we have two in one photo!

Thanks as always Tom R!

Three pictures interest me.
Number 6 is not a Ford? Wonder what it is?
Number 7 All men have a stick. Was it a walking stick? All women are dressed alike. I wonder what the occasion or reason why?
Number 9 I wonder what happened? Where are the wheels? Were those men in it when it happened? If they are it is surprising they don't look injured.

Norm, I think photo 7 has a bunch of kids dressed as old people. That looks like a school behind them. Photo 6 appears to have Model T running gear.

The very first photo is a good look at a T being used up as it got older and kept running as best they could! I imagine within 10-15 years after the photo was taken it was at the scrap yard or being left out somewhere in the backwoods and forgot about. Other T’s had a good long life span but this one may not have. Just my opinion of what may have happened. Interesting real life photos!

I'm kind of thinking like Mark, #6 looks like T running gear hiding behind some rather impressive body work... the axle and the radiator hiding behind that fancy shell are (kinda) telltales. Still, even if it IS a T, what a snazzy car!

Number 6 is definitely a T, I have the details in my files somewhere the car is RHD and Australian.
