Very interesting car. At first glance? But look closer. The radiator shell is one of the after-market shells offered to cover the outdated brass radiator. These were sold by several companies. Longtime close friend Ed Archer's famous number 4 racing car has an original "Lawco" shell on it. Ames also sold similar shells as did a few other companies. Such shells required special hoods as well. The front fenders are curved, like Ford's '17 to '25 fenders are. However, I cannot see any sign of Ford's bead on the crown of the fender. I suspect that the fenders, at least the fronts, are also after-market update items. I cannot tell about the windshield hinge, but the "tombstone" style rear curtain window also hints at an earlier than black era T. It should be noted that early '17s did have the tombstone rear curtain.
Interesting too is the light color of the wheels and front of the chassis. I wonder if the entire chassis is painted, and is it white? Yellow? Or what?
