Re: Front and center.
In this pic you posted, the faces says it all....
The young family on the left happy & proud embracing the new technology....
While old Ma on the right, not happy about being included in the charade, has no doubt given a piece of her mind to the younguns chastizing them about their foolish purchase...
Just a fad and a bunch of nonsense....I ain't even getting in that durn contraption, I'll stick with my horse & buggy thank you...

Re: Front and center.
Seven and seventeen look like the same picture. Funny how some of the people look as though they might have been my ancestors!

Kurt,
I think old Ma is actually a prankster, just waiting to startle everyone with a squeeze of her right hand.
Nice photos of people posing with their autos.

Re: Front and center.
Am I seeing a grease cup on the left spindle to drag link in that 1st picture? I thought they were always oil caps. Thank you again Tom for these wonderfully nostalgic photos.

Re: Front and center.
No. 13 is a 1911 Torpedo roadster. I can't see any headlights, but there is a spotlight mounted on the dash. For me it is unusual to see a Torpedo that doesn't have E&J sidelights. What do you think those are?

Re: Front and center.
That dogbone radiator cap is exactly like the one stolen from my speedster in 2004 on a national rally! I have never found a replacement just like it.

Re: Front and center.
Allan, Are you talking about the first photo, also a 1911 Torpedo roadster? It does have a great radiator cap! The wiring to the electrified headlamps is interesting? Or nasty?
Another question however, is that pin striping on the front cross member?

Re: Front and center.
That's the one Wayne. Some mongrel went around the host town and stole 7 different radiator cap/ornaments in one night, the T's being parked outside various accommodation sites.

Re: Front and center.
Allan, Frankly, I think that you are being too kind merely calling the miscreant a "mongrel". However, as I am a generally polite individual, and this is a family oriented website? I won't use the language I would truly consider them to be.
Sadly, that sort of thing happens way too often. I, and many friends of mine, have over the years lost a few too many items to such lowlifes.
