Fifteen MIllionth Ford
Posted: Sat May 18, 2024 9:24 pm
I have been looking at the Model T Times May/June 2018 (#415) issue.
It has an article about the 15 million Ford. On page 14 it shows both a photo of the Touring taken in 1927 and also one taken after the vehicle was painted green.
I looked with magnification at both photos. Between the r and d in the Ford lettering is a curved line. The original looks to be positioned slightly different than when it was lettered again after the repaint!
What I am trying to determine is when it was originally painted blue , did it have pin striping? A picture on page 18 at the top may show pin striping, but I cannot tell for sure. Also I do not know for sure if this picture was before the vehicle was repainted. The line between the r and the d in Ford appears to me to indicate this picture was taken before the repaint.
Does anyone have a good picture of the vehicle when it was painted blue with the pin striping showing under the belt molding? It will not be a color picture, but perhaps the date on the back would give us an indication of if the was before or after the color was changed from blue to green
