Pic # 1.... odd front axle.... British?

Pic one is not necessarily British. It is not the usual drop frame front axle the Ford factory used. The vehicle has a whole front end modification. Gone is the transverse front spring. It has dumb irons added, a different front axle and eliptical springs.

Allan from down under.

Perhaps the spurious front axle is why the vehicle flipped on it's side.

The first photo of the turned over advertising T looks as if the T was top heavy and made a turn and over it went. The different style front axle being added to help with the steering or???
Or could it be another frame altogether and the T body added.

Thanks for the pictures, Tom.
I would speculate the picture of that fore-door T that Jason recently bought is a '12 near the time the one piece dash was introduced. Note the Murphy fastener near the "dip" for the side curtain. On my Novemberish '11 they were still below the fore-door, like on the earlier open cars. There is no way the front side curtain could be used on my car without someone outside to button and unbutton it!

#10....1913 with the horn placed CORRECTLY! AND black!!! Larry will like this!!

Interesting 4th from the bottom roadster. There’s something about that cowl that doesn’t look right and the hood looks newer. ‘15-‘16 ? due to flat LR fender ? And the windshield & brackets are unlike anything I’ve ever seen…..”Hub dust cover ? I don’t need no stinkin hubcap”
