To me it looks like a model T with solid disc wheels. Looks like Henry did a great choice when he decided to build this little car in vanadium steel!

Other peculiarities of this particular 'T': looks like a pre '23 with a '23 to '25 top clamped to an '18 to '19 windshield upper ( no provision for side lamps). Aftermarket pan wheels? Front bumper pre '27? (looks like something other than an automotive bumper) I think this car had owner modifications done to it and that this photo was staged!
Not that all this matters a whole lot....just curious. Still learning about the Flivver.

A lot of those look like they were swerving to avoid something, maybe dogs or children on the road?
