Re: Maybe not a good idea.
We’re so fastidious with oiling and greasing our old Ford parts but the boy in photo 8 doesn’t even have a dust/grease cover on his LF wheel ! And it seems to have been popular to ‘create’ Model T pickups before ‘25.

Re: Maybe not a good idea.
Notice the men in first picture are all in uniform. Must have been a way of torture. Balance a car on someone and restrict them from breathing.
Also I am amazed to see in so many pictures women driving or cranking the cars. When I was a boy, only the men in our families drove. I can remember it was sometime in the late 1940's that my mother and one aunt learned to drive. Some other relatives women drove, but neither my grandmother nor mother drove when I was very young. My mother in law never learned to drive.

First photo demonstrates pre water boarding interrogation know as Ford boarding or T boarding.

Re: Maybe not a good idea.
In the first photo there is a large ring on the inside of the right front wheel. If this is a military car, would that be for a more accurate odometer?

The guy being squashed is also in the same uniform. Notice the collar decoration.Norman Kling wrote: ↑Fri Oct 13, 2023 12:09 pmNotice the men in first picture are all in uniform. Must have been a way of torture. Balance a car on someone and restrict them from breathing.

It's probably a stunt. Or Russia, 1917?

Re: Maybe not a good idea.
Note the right front wheel is running on a lower board but the ring is on the top board. I think that actually removes some of the weight on the area where the man is laying. Also I can't tell from the picture, but it looks as if the back wheel is not on the teeter totter either?

Re: Maybe not a good idea.
I was thinking tax collectors trying to squeeze out the last dime?
