Re: Better get ready.
When you see photos of people draped all over their Model T's it is surprising to me that any sheetmetal that isn't dented or bent survived to the present day.

Re: Better get ready.
The roadster (‘17?) second from the bottom appears to have an unusually sturdy under axle wishbone to supplement earlier wishbone. And 6th from the top ‘14 touring with acetylene headlamps. Does that electric spotlight run off magneto or 3 telephone batteries ??
Thanks again Tom Rootlieb for these fascinating, thought provoking photos.

Re: Better get ready.
This one with the unusual radiator looks interesting, maybe they were going for the Beast of Turin look.

Re: Better get ready.
It is comforting to see three 1914's with the horns mounted correctly!

I know what you mean! However, photo number two also appears to be a 1914, but with a louvered hood.
That number fourteen speedster, I wonder if they were going for the Beast of Turin? Or maybe a tall and narrow Great War airplane fuselage?
Wonderful speedster either way.
Another observation about the photo, have you ever worn a straw hat while driving a speedster? I have. Keep your head tipped forward into the wind.
The other speedster photo? Number nine? Not a good look at the car, unfortunately. I can tell I love that car. And I love that photo! I want to be there, in that car, and spend an hour there just taking in the whole ambience!
