Wait...isn't the T gas tank under the seat? So how is he filling up with Ma still sitting there?

Interesting fender brace above the headlights.

Two common aftermarket accessories. The fill pipe is brought forward from under the seat. Some had a gauge incorporated.

Nice photos!

Folks,
Got me thinking.
I have a picture of my Mom on the hood of a Model T. She was born in Ohio in 1922. She looks to be about 3 or 4 years old so it would have been 1926 ish. Of course the car looks old, even the dirt was old back then! I will take a picture of the picture the best I can and post it here. Maybe someone can give me some information on the car? Just another thing that can tie the past into today.
No I dont have a T!
Heck I never expected to own a 32!
Regards,
Chris

Folks,
Here are the pictures I mentioned:
My mom:


Maybe My grandmother? Could this be a American Underslung? My grandfather talked about one sometimes.

I would say that is a 1915 Buick like this one, only a Roadster.

15max suggests that the lower photo posted by sugarmaker is a 1915 Buick similar to this one.

Bathing suits and high heeled shoes. Even with the ugly suits, very pretty women.

Not sure, but if you look close at the car above (instead of at the girls) I don't think it's a Model T. Hood looks too long (and too many louvers), windshield looks too short and just not Model T'ish to me.
