Filling up the Model T at a Gas Station.

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!

1923 Ford Model T Touring - USA

sugarmaker · 03-28-2022, 05:58 PM

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

sugarmaker · 03-31-2022, 05:04 PM

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

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

Regards,
Chris

15max · 04-02-2022, 07:46 PM

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.

15 Max,
Thanks for the picture of the Buick! Looks like you nailed it.

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

G Baese · 04-24-2022, 12:23 AM

That '16 Couplet is a great old photo of a very rare Model T, thanks mercman!

Randy in ca · 04-24-2022, 01:52 AM

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.

15max · 04-24-2022, 03:26 PM

The Model T tipped over when the girls got on the side of it. ;0)

Right you are. In fact counting the spokes of the back wheel give us 12 not ten.

A bunch of guys and girls on an early Ford Model T Touring, sporting a Red Cross Badge

Ab4875 · 04-25-2022, 06:21 AM

That's an interesting photo with the headlight covers and the Japanese flag. It looks like a 1916 with Sankey wheels and KW Roadsmoothers.

State Library of Queensland lists it as Elizabeth St, Brisbane - Treasury Building maybe?

Ab4875 was correct in identifying the background location of this picture.
This is how the Treasury Building in Elizabeth Street, Brisbane looks today, over 100 years later.

There are several more pictures of these folks, all were taken by a gov. photographer documenting the depression.

Ford Model T crossing a river on a Barge - Australia

Old Redneck · 07-23-2022, 03:23 PM

That one picture back is what they called a [Running Board Picnic] Bob Hart use to tell me about down on the Cheat River in WV. We use to drive down to the River and sit on the Running and eat cheese and crackers with a bottle of Pop. This guy came driving and stop and ask if we were all right. Bob would say we are having a Running Board Picnic and laugh. I never forget that. Bob is gone now but we sure had some good times back then

Old Redneck · 08-25-2022, 06:52 AM

Thanks for all the picture's. Sure did enjoy them.
