Re: Right off the showroom floor.
I'm guessing that the 1912 touring in the first photo is Canadian because the front wheels appear to be 23" with 30 x 3.5 tires.
Also, note the following accessories:
knee action front shocks
bumper
headlamps converted to electric
toolbox in lieu of acetylene generator or Prestolite tank
seat covers with matching aftermarket top boot
Also note that the license dangling from the rear axle and the rear tailight is in a high position. There also appears to be some sort of attachment or other accessory at the rear but not enough is showing to determine what it is.

Plus treaded rear tires. That car is as sharp as a tack.

Re: Right off the showroom floor.
The fourth picture from the top 24-25 Coupe has an extension on the outside passenger door handle and I wonder what for.

Re: Right off the showroom floor.
The T in picture 1 is beautiful. Perfect. What year is it? I have never seen such a shiny paint job done in that era. If anyone needs a reference on how to pinstripe their brass era T, this is the pictures to use. Picture must have been taken the first day of ownership by the proud first owner. I would love to have a T like that in that condition. I wonder whatever became of it.
PS. Where is the carbide generator?

Perhaps a Prestolite tank in that tool box.

License plate hanging from the rear axle, when that was legal.
Four cars pictured have bumpers. I suppose if you can afford a bumper then you can afford a camera.
