Eleventh photo, my dad told me when he was a kid, the family dog would always jump on the Model T and ride that niche between the hood and the fender. Great pix again, thanks Tom !!
They prove (?) T hoods are tougher than you think !!

…and I like the photo right above it. The exceedingly cute little girl holding her teddy bear sitting on a quilt spread out on the hood of a ‘17-‘22 touring.Re: Correct use and care of your hood.

I've often wondered how any hood or fender survived unscathed to the modern day.....

In the 5th picture from the top there’s a full grown lady STANDING ON THE TOP of the touring left rear door !! What could’ve prompted her to do that ! Theres only four 1” wood screws fastening that door. Thank you for the bewilderment Tom.

They didn't! More hoods and fenders and even top bows were broken by sitting or standing on them than by crashes!

They must have been.
Of course, fancy drum headlights and a dished hood combine to give a custom flair that can't be beat!

I only leaned on mine a little to look in the gas tank and put a dent in it.
