Re: The Big Day
I saw the title. I saw your name as the poster. I immediately wondered "Is this another wonderful thread of interesting photos? Or, better yet, the first photos of that beautiful T you are painting being finally assembled?"
Regardless, Thank You!

Re: The Big Day
The third photo, the really beat up boat-tail roadster? It looks a lot like the boat-tail roadster I restored over thirty years ago! Only mine was in much worse condition when I bought it.
The other speedster near the bottom of the stack? Looks like a bellows light leak creating an interest effect. Looks like a steaming radiator! But I don't think it is.

Re: The Big Day
The last photo, an early touring car, appears to be a 1910 with after-market fore-doors, and probably an after-market tail lamp.

Re: The Big Day
The second to the last photo is how I feel when I go around a corner.
Thanks again for posting these fantastic photos.

Re: The Big Day
Tom, I'm not sure how you pull this off. You're photo collection is beyond cool. A national treasure!

No quick getaway! They can't see through the windshield. At least, on my cars my line of sight is usually through the lower portion of the windshield.

K. I don't know what they hit but broke two wheels! Unusual to loose two at the same time. Must have been going very fast and hit something hard.

Re: The Big Day
Maybe they ran afoul of a missing manhole cover.

Re: The Big Day
The speedster 3rd from the bottom with the two girls driving. That's a strange place for steam to escape. Must be the seam in the bottom tank of the radiator.
