The 8th photo from the top of the center door seems to be of a pretty new T. The owner added the after market headlights and at least another tail light. The car does look like it hasn’t been driver to long by the looks of the still really nice looking body finish.

That centerdoor sedan is most likely a 1917 or 1918 model with the kerosene sidelamps removed. It would also explain why it has aftermarket demountables and electric rear lamp.

I like the early Touring full of gals (#12) with the accessory Sando pull starter on the front !

That storm sewer looking thing in the road could sure cause some havoc on your front end couldn't it? Or at least wake ya up!

Kids remind me of Little Rascals. :lol:

Another wonderful bunch of photos! The people and the cars, things to see and occasions to wonder about.
Number two looks like a hard working tough bunch of guys, standing around around a 1913/'14 touring car with Hassler shock absorbers.
Number thirteen is an interesting shot of an era upgraded 1915/'16 model T touring car. With its fancy radiator and sloping hood blending neatly into the cowl, it would look so much better if the lighting and angle of the photograph didn't highlight a reflection of the windshield and steering wheel on the surface of the hood.
Number eight, the center-door sedan, I agree is a 1917/'18 with the cowl lamps removed and several interesting accessories. I really like those drum headlamps, and wonder what year they were added? Drum headlamps were more popular in the 1920s than in the 1910s. The Firestone type demountable wheels were a popular accessory in the latter half of the 1910s. I have personally seen dozens of model Ts with them myself! I like the radiator cap, and notice the car may have an over-axle wishbone with an under-axle brace added for safety. Between the wheels and the wishbone, I wonder if the fellow wishes he had waited another year or so to buy his pride and joy automobile? The 1919 had those improvements included and for less money!
And, for those that may wish to point fingers? Notice the car has a (probably two?) step plate on the running board! SEE! They DO exist! (I still think there are too many of them on model Ts today?)

I sure like that 1915 runabout above the C-door!

Number twelve is a mid to late 1912 "slab-side" touring car. Notice the rear doors open at the back, and still have the outside door handle which the last variation of 1912 touring cars did not have. Also, there is another Ford with Firestone type demountable wheels!
The aforementioned pull starter, rear-view mirror, and after-market horn make it a well accessorized T, with quite a few miles under its belt. Yet, the top boot is still doing its assigned task.

One has to love all the suitcases on the running board of number fifteen, and wonder what the trip was about.

The last one has a tall radiator neck, however otherwise appears to be a 1910.

I wonder if the men in photo two just finished installing the fence. Otherwise it would have been a better photo without the fence between the men and the camera.

Photo ten looks like a wedding photo.
