Looks like a blast! Love that first coupe, is it being left alone and preserved?

That blue Model T with the white tires is really cool.

That's the first Halloween motorcycle I have ever seen! Neat!! Was the rider in costume?

Is that a Whizzer in the foreground of one of the photos? Looks like a good time was had by all.

[sidevalve]

Yep, that is a wizzer my neighbor brought over. He let my daughter and I ride it around. That was alot of fun. The blue model T is a 1911 and the motorcycle is mine. It has a factory style paint job for 1934. Orlando orange and black. I just thought it looked cool in the autumn display.
The 30 coupe is my buddy Billy's. He plans on leaving it in that patina. Cool right?

Looks like a nice collection! (secretly admiring the 70-73 Camaro..going through a "cars I grew up with" phase)

You had a good turn out. The blue T is a 1911, what about the other brass T that I see (the black one)?

Looks like an early '16 based on the painted brass headlamp/sidelamp rims.

I was a little worried about what might come up when I Googled 'Whizzer', but it's the motorcycle, correct? Very nice!
Thanks for sharing.

It was a fine day there at Miller's, I was in atttendence. The other brass T is a '15, a very well done machine. The camaro is a '73 Z-28. One of the more interesting things that drove in was this Roadster Pick up & Servi car combo, not something I see everyday. The Servi cars were used by garages to retrieve customers cars for service. It would be ridden out tothe car, and then attached to the rear bumper and towed back.

The bikes all got moved into the garage for the night as some of us maybe had a few more beers than is reccommended for motorcycle operations...

there was a model side shaft gas engine chugging away most all of the day in the garage, it is a model of a 1876 open flame ignition Otto.

I thank matt for his hospitality and excellent food, hoping it becomes an annual event. Maybe he'll want to make t shirts for us next year....

Oh, BTW, the Whizzer is mine, it is a 1947. They were sold as kits which the enterprising young man could install on his bicycle thereby becoming the envy of every other lad. That came from a barn in Virginia, I lent my pick up & car trailer to my neighbor and that was in the bed when they returned it to me. They said " there's a little something for you in the back of the truck" I had it running that very day! It also came witha Virginia Title issued in 1949.

If we are speaking about the car pictured on the end of the row, are you certain it was a 1915? Typically the easiest way to tell is the 1915 had polished brass rims on the headlamps & sidelamps whereas the 1916's had those painted Black (like what is on that car in the picture). Very similar cars (like a '28 vs '29 Model A) with other distinguishing features such as alum. vs. steel hood, the type horn, etc. which are harder features to tell from the picture. I am sure you are correct in that it is a nice car. It is difficult to tell from the picture, but does it have Demountable Rims or Clinchers?

[lazlobassett]

I'm certainly no expert and I cede to your knowledge. I know the fellow who has done th car and know it to be registered as a '15, I do believe he mentioned that it was a Late '15 if that helps.

My '15 has brass headlight rims and Firestone Demountables.
