Re: “Wrong house!”, you say?
First photo - right house, but that load of coal is rather far from the chute in the background isn’t it ?
Last photo, well, she’s out of the shed, but now what ?
I forsee a lot of shoveling ahead in both of these pix !

First photo - so that’s why there’s a plethora of early turtledecks ! And if I were to ever deliver coal I’d wear a tie and 3 piece suit too ! BTW, gorgeous new centerdoor! Thanks again Tom

Re: “Wrong house!”, you say?
Wonder how that late ‘14 touring in 7th from the bottom lost the drag link ?

#9 not the way to tighten your spokes. Last one It's running a little hot so I'll just melt my way through.

Boy, the driver of that brand new 1914 Touring upside down in the water should have gotten driving lessons first. That must have been exciting.

Re: “Wrong house!”, you say?
My grandfather delivered coal during the Depression around metro Detroit. He also dug basements... with a shovel.
He said when the war broke out he couldn't wait to get into the Army- he figured it was less work than digging basements or shoveling coal!

Re: “Wrong house!”, you say?
Numbers nine and thirteen, a couple of nearly new T Fords that went into the water. I hope the occupants got out okay? Number nine, the 1914 seems to be fairly intact, and maybe could have gone on to a long and useful existence (who knows, maybe still around and enjoyed?). Number thirteen however, didn't fare too well. What appears to be a late 1909 or very early 1910 based upon the shortly used style of running board, the seats have broken away from the body base. I cannot tell for certain whether it was a touring car or a tourabout. I suspect it was a touring car based upon what appear to be the sills curving up ahead of the rear seat platform.
