Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
If anyone has pictures they'd like to post but might not have the hang of it, send me a PM (private message) and I'll either post them for you, or assist if you want to post them yourself.

NOTE: The door handle on the driver's side & I think the Acetylene generator is a little farther back than some ----- it is a Canadian built car. Last edited by Jack Innes; 05-24-2010 at 06:42 AM. Reason: More information; |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Great photo, Jack.
Flat tire somewhere near Chicago. Mom & Dad on the right, not helping much. Either is whoever took the photo, now that I think of it.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
More pictures; The black touring is not restored, I am the second owner - The yellow one is a 25 Dodge Brothers business sedan - The A is a 28 AR - The green roadster is mechanically excellent & almost too much fun!!
Question --- how do you make the pictures grown-up size like some seem to be? |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
These fools are playing Polo - note the mallet ready to hit the flying passenger on the head! It is about as dangerous on horseback only you do not have to shoot the Model T after you injure it badly!!

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
That had to be at least as bad as horseback, yes I knew is must've been polo or croquet of some kind, was kidding about using a T-for ball.. Notice the size of the ball, about like a soccer.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Getting better efficiency out of a car through good aerodynamics is certainly not a new idea; Bucky Fuller did it in the Dymaxion car and Chrysler did it with the Airflow. However before either of them, Harry Stevinson of Bashaw, Alberta took a junked model T Ford (top speed 45 MPH), "aeromodded" it and got it to go 70 MPH. The fuel economy also went from 25 miles per gallon to 38 mpg.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
That is a T parade car made to wheel stand by moving the rear axle forward and putting more weight and usually a couple of people in the back seat.
Can't image it is great for the way the splash lube is set up but maybe they can get enough oil in the bearings while level to keep it going for a while in the air. Kids love them. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
That Ford racer is Frank Kulick's. He was the main test driver for Henry in the early days.
Here is that racer he used on ice for a stunt in 1910 http://www.motorsport.com/photos/pop...41199&S=Sports During 1910, 1911 and 1912, Frank Kulick won many races around the country in a stripped and reworked Model T, including a one-mile oval speed record at Detroit Fairgrounds in the fall of 1911, when he beat a Blitzen Benz with a time of 50 seconds flat. Replica of Kulick's Ford racer is in the Gilmore Museum in Michigan |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Nice pics Mike. If only these old photos could talk, I bet there'd be some interesting stories. And those wrecks - somebody had to have gotten hurt or worse I bet. BTW, there is a T in the background of the last picture.

The bottom Wreck looks like a fairly new Olds.

I think you are correct - the grille looks same as that car/truck used on the TV Show Beverly Hillbillies, wasn't it a mid 20's Olds?

You guys are correct. That new, wrecked car is an Oldsmobile. The original photo has outstanding detail and the radiator emblem is plainly Oldsmobile. MIKE Last edited by FL&WVMIKE; 06-18-2010 at 12:42 PM. Reason: Left out word |

raceron1120 ...............................
I, especially, found your collection of old movie theatre photos interesting. Just five years ago, I sold the longest continous operating movie theatre in the USA. It opened in 1907 and is still operating. I bought it from the daughter-in-law of the founder in 1978. I have some old photos, but I don't think that any of them have cars in them. I'll have to check my collection. MIKE |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Thanks, I was just consolidating them here for the Ford folks. Credit & thanks goes to all who have posted them on the web from their personal collections. I found most of the movie pics on a local (michigan) website and remember some of the drive-ins from my earliers days. Only posted those with cars and particularly Fords.
Many of the above photos are of Pontiac Mi, where I was born - but those pics are waaay before I was around. But my dad was also born there in 1914. Some of those old buildings remain but Pontiac is a shell of its former self. Most auto manufacturing is gone from there. There's tons of great old photos out there but it takes a lot of time to find and sort them out. Good thing it's been slow at work lately , I don't expect it to stay that way for long. ron |

I do remember one photo has a 1932 Ford parked out front and another of a 4th of July parade. These photos are 800 miles away, right now. so I will post them later. There might be others. MIKE |

NEW FORD DEALER ? .................................
This FORD porcelain sign is so new, that it has not been hung up yet. There are a few FORD flyers taped to the inside of the windows. This is probably in Oregon, as the m/c license plate is Oregon and dated 1917. The motorcycle is a HARLEY-DAVIDSON. MIKE Last edited by FL&WVMIKE; 06-19-2010 at 05:16 PM. Reason: word |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Hoping everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Pretty warm here in Michigan but sunny and nice for not working - or playing - too hard.
Thought I'd post some more photos today that I found on the 'net - thanks to all who've taken time to research and find them. |

I saw these photos in the Library of Congress' website. Says it's a 1921 but I found their descriptions aren't always correct. Does anyone here know the year for sure?

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Obviously not a Ford, but it is my Grandfather John F. Webber of Ottumwa Iowa in 1916. What is the car? Packard??
Appreciate your help. Thanks, Dick Webber |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Hey y'all, I don't know if you've seen this picture before; I found it on the Library of Congress' website/archives.
I certainly don't know too much about T's as they were quite awhile before my time but - I'm guessing that these are T motors. Can any of you experts confirm? |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Actually it looks like a Hudson, about a 1924. Notice the Hudson triangle in the middle of the bumper & the Hudson crest on the spare tire cover.
It is on some kind of dynamometer to check HP under load. Notice the large wheels under the rear wheels & the lever that the fellow closest to the car is holding. It looks connected to a brake on the driven wheels. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
About 1930. Standing beside the T is my aunt, Jereldine Parker. At the time she was teaching at IXL rural school, south of Arkansas City KS. The road is US 77, two lane concrete. I don't know the mom or any of the kids.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
No, the cars in both pictures are 1922 or earlier. The first one is 1919-1922. Windshield straight up, demountable rims. The second picture doesn't show the kind of rims, so it could be 1917-1922. It looks like the trailer may have solid-tire truck wheels.

Assuming that's Mom sitting on the running board (poor old worn out woman) this appears to be one of those Southern Minnesota Catholic families.

I've never been very good at id'ing Ts, they're a bit before my time. Thanks for the clarification.

I've heard the kid moved on to the MTFCI. I'll bet he gets the same respect there that he got here. You gotta say one thing for him, he's a persistent little sh!t. Not to bright but persistent.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
thanks for pointing that out, I didn't really pay too much attention to other than the vehicle. Some of the pics I find on the Library of Congress' archives are poor quality, much worse than even this one. Good thing is at least they've been preserved as good as possible.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I've been lurking and reading on this Web site for some time and decided I should try a post. This is the greatest original photo that I own. I first saw it about 25 years ago when helping to prepare for the centennial of our town. I tried to buy it from the original owner but he would not sell. Later on, after he passed away, his widow called me and gave me the photo saying her husband wanted me to have it because I'd take good care of the photo and the history surrounding it. I was lucky enough to have known three of the men in the photo. The picture quality/detail is almost unbelievable and it's too bad I can't post a larger version of the picture.
This photo was taken in the fall of 1923 at the gravel pit near Racine, Minnesota. The company that owned the steam shovel and a couple of the trucks was Link Construction. Most of the TT trucks were owned by locals that hired out to haul gravel that fall. The bottom dump boxes on the trucks were built by the guys that owned them. The man with glasses on top of the new truck in the photo (second one in the center), is Jens Petersen who I was lucky enough to know and was a great old guy. He was a Ford dealer in Stewartville, Minnesota for many years until that fall. During 1922 and 1923, Henry Ford set out to get rid of some of his dealers. In the early years Ford would give a dealership to just about anyone that applied. Some towns had several dealers. He then changed and required his dealers to have more inventory of both cars and parts, better shop equipment, and sell a minimum number of cars per year. Added to that was the fact he kept lowering the advertised price every few months and dealers sometimes ended up having to sell the T's at less than they paid for them. Jens' said he'd had enough and shut down his business after he ordered a car and truck for himself. You will also notice that the cabs on these TTs are all a little different. Ford did not build cabs for his trucks until 1924. Before that you built it yourself or bought it from a truck cab vender. There are 14 trucks in the full version of this picture: 12 are TT's - 1 is a International shovel nose - 1 is unknown.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Will, those pictures are priceless. They remind me a lot of my Grandpa, Dad and several other family members. Most of them worked in the mines for years. And at one time or another they were truck drivers. My Grandpa and Dad always talked about the old 15 ton "Donkey's". I believe they were either Macks or Euclids and those 2 talked about them like they were people. Someday I'll get into a BS mood and tell you about #710. The old oil shovel in the background and the water wagon in the front of the photo are neat too. At any rate I'm going to steal a copy of this photo and post it on my facebook family page. This one is just plain great.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I see. Thanks Roger. Leave it up to another Minnesota T owner to present us with something interesting. I really didn't mind stealing it from Bill when I thought he'd posted it. And now that I've stolen a copy I hope you don't mind if I show it to my family on our facebook page. And welcome aboard. It's about time you posted. If that your touring in the avatar I'm pretty darn envious.

If anyone wants a bigger version of the main photo, just let me know and I'll E-Mail you a larger file. I've owned the 1914 in my avatar since 1989.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Quote:
What a great story and car ! That "T" is crying for a rub down with GIBBS OIL ! It will enrich the color and hide some of the rusting. You will have to Google it to find out where to order it. It is a little pricey, at about $20.00 for a spray can. You can get an idea of what it will do, by spraying a part of your car with WD-40 and rubbing it in with a rag. The GIBBS OIL will do an even better job and will last much longer. The old original antique motorcycles, that you see, are probably, treated with this oil. MIKE |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Here is a 1911 photo of the brand new building housing the Nolan Ford Dealership in Grand Meadow, Minnesota. In front of it is a 1911 Torpedo Runabout and an unidentified large luxury car. At first I thought the big car might be a Model K, but the fenders and the rear of the body are not correct. The building still exists, but in a much modified form. The last photo is of a 1911 Torpedo Open Runabout, a rarer version of the Torpedo.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Thought I would share these in this thread. I'm not too savvy with this era of Fords at all, but thought these pics might be enjoyed here. They are of someone who is related to me somehow on my father's side of the family. The backs are stamped Crystal Finish Glendive, Mont. Gate City Drug Store.
Here is a pic of two girls, twins. Now here is another pic of I'm assuming the same two girls, at Class Day 1933. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I do believe this is a Model T. It is from my Dad's collection of truck photo's that are original canvas backed pictures. The Jenss company is still in business celebrating their 100th year in Buffalo.
