Re: Friday flicks
How often do you see a closed cab brass radiator pickup used as a wedding car?

Re: Friday flicks
I don't know anything but does that RPU look older than 1925 in #4?
What about the RPU in #8?

Re: Friday flicks
I have been wondering just what to say about the car in photo number four. Maybe more than meets the eye.
In the first place, it might be earlier than you think. That hood does not appear to be a Ford supplied hood. And that rear fender is unusual to say the least.
The windshield has the even folding hinges used 1915 into mid 1917, and the steering column has the electric horn button on the top of the column. The runabout, unless a lot of unusual changes have been made, began as a mid 1915 though mid 1917 model. That odd fitting hood might be sloping down to an after-market shroud over a brass era radiator?
The front fender doesn't show enough to be sure what it is. It may be a standard 1917 Ford front fender, however I am not sure about the rivets visible down under near the frame. Maybe the leather strap over the hood was riveted to the fender? The rear fender appears to have a compound curve crown similar to the standard Ford fenders for 1917, however, clearly it is not a standard Ford fender. Note how the inner skirt (?) flares in toward the side of the body, differently than how the Ford rear fenders did. The rear fender almost certainly is some sort of after-market fender. Perhaps the front fender and hood were all part of an after-market style upgrade for a late brass T?
Certainly an unusual combination of choices for a runabout converted into a light utility pickup.
Thank you again Tom R for a wonderfully interesting group of era photos!

Re: Friday flicks
Yes! There seems to be a never ending supply of new qnd interesting pictures!
Where do they all come from?
Just a 20 year old who listens to 40 year old music, works on 75 year old airplanes and drives 100 year old cars.

Re: Friday flicks
I think I saw one or two of them in there but something that I don't see often are pictures of 17-22 runabouts or "roadster" body styles, I am looking for period photos of something similar because I have a 19 Runabout.
