Three window openings in the rear of the top indicates it is '17 to '22.

Re: Approximate Year Of This Model T?
Is it just the lighting, or is that a brass radiator?
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Re: Approximate Year Of This Model T?
Perhaps you could get a clearer copy of that photo if you contacted these guys?

They probably have a few other interesting photos with Model Ts.

Re: Approximate Year Of This Model T?
Just not clear enough detail.
The front fenders could appear to be flat? Could be 1915/'16 with a brass radiator? Or not. I wouldn't go from the shiny top of the radiator however. The shiny area appears too rectangular. I suspect that is a license plate hanging on a radiator neck bracket. I like the era accessory brackets myself, but do not like the way they look on cars. So I have never used one.
Tops were sometimes replaced by later style replacements, putting the three windows on late brass model Ts.
A 1913ish pickup,
A 1914 touring with later headlamps and top rear curtain.

Re: Approximate Year Of This Model T?
Wow! So much better to work from an unadulterated early generation copy! Thanks J E G !
Without the colorization and digital manipulation, it can clearly be seen as a brass era radiator! No high mounted license plate. I can almost make out the "Ford" script on the radiator, and a small dogbone cap without a Moto-Meter.
Without brass rims on the lamps, likely a late 1915 or 1916 with a later style top installed as a replacement.

Re: Approximate Year Of This Model T?
the 3-window rear curtain was 1917-Mid 1922.
When did I do that?
