Picture #3: Funny, till someone loses and arm!

Picture #4: Interesting view of a Canadian T!

Picture #4, look at the pinstriping on the hood. Everything I have seen says that the pinstriping on the hood was never "boxed" but only had one stripe in the front of the hood and one in the back. Yet here it is boxed. My car is a 1912 similar vintage to the one in Photo #4.

I want a bi-plane radiator ornament like Lady Bug has
And, once again, the 2 pretty sisters in the ‘15 touring reveal they lose kerosene fonts back in the day….
Thank you for the nostalgic photos Tom.

Maybe the Canadian '12's are different?

Ford brochure illustrations show the boxed stripe by the center hinge, and now we see it in a photo. Fantastic.

I thought the lower edge was boxed as well, but was advised differently by a forum member. His observation is confirmed by another of Tom’s photos. The stripes basically run up the front edge of the hood, back along the hinge and then down the rear edge, like an upside down squared “U”.

Gregory,
The pin stripe on the hood is not "boxes" like on most incorrect pinstripe today. There is one stripe along the radiator, one stripe along the firewall, and a connecting stripe along the hinge. It is rare that this camera angle is used that shows the stripe along the hinge.

Here is an image from the November 1911 manual:

Thanks, Keith. Yeah, I misused the "boxed" term as what I was really referring to was the stripe at the hinge. So without a stripe at the bottom, it's not a box. Thanks for the clarification.
