Re: Scrap drive.
The Packard over the edge after possibly hitting the early T with accessory cowl is interesting. We talked about those cowls here:

Re: Scrap drive.
The 1912 Torpedo with the pennant and floppy spare tire has Minnesota 1912-13-14 plate 19029 which was registered to Charles Wayland of Ivanhoe, Minnesota for a Ford.
Note the first two letters in on the pennant appear to be "Iv" so I presume it is an "Ivanhoe" pennant.
If I went to the Minnesota Historical Society, I could look up the motor serial number on the original hand-posted ledger.

Re: Scrap drive.
Here’s a picture of what looks to be some sort of big luxury car among mostly Model T’s and other makes that went over the wall! The car looks like it’s really long by it’s laying over the edge.
I’ll bet they were sure trying to stop it winding up as scrap! It attracted a big crowd.
Looks like it might be a big Packard sedan but not sure.

Re: Scrap drive.
I usually don’t comment, but I must say that I have never seen half doors on a 09/10 touabout (I think it’s a 10 cause of how dark the paint is . Must be green.) Don’t see any handles or hinges so you must just step over. I kinda like the look.

Re: Scrap drive.
It may be - but remember that film at that time was color blind and not sensitive to red. That tended to make red go very dark to black depending on the amount of UV light it reflected. I love these old photos. They really make things come to life again.
