Re: How Long Have You Owned Your Old Iron?
I took possession of my 16 coupelet July 2012 and titled it finally December 2018 but it's been in our family since 1953. My eleven touring I took ownership July 2016, it also has been in our family since 1953.

Re: Old Photos- Gregory South Dakota
Gregory SD is not too far from where my 16 coupelet spent it's first 25 years, just over the border in Brocksburg NE. Makes me wonder if Mr. Fickweiler drove to Gregory on occasion.

Re: Early Beaudette Body Numbers
I stand corrected my coupelet does have a serial number under the seat but it's not a Beaudette number.

Re: Early Beaudette Body Numbers
My 16 coupelet has a "B" serial number stamped in it but I don't remember what it is at the moment. Also the frame on the couplelet has a flag stamped on the rear cross member.

Re: Billings tour - Anyone going to Yellowstone after?
The Billings tour was on my agenda for this year but I guess my wife didn't get the memo. Instead I'm trailering my coupelet to Nebraska to show my extended family all the work I've done on it. I would love to cruise Yellowstone in my 11 touring though.

Re: Help a T Novice Understand Greasing
You put oil in them not grease. You put grease in the cups with screw caps that force the grease into the mechanism. Cups with spring lids are for oil.

Re: Whats the Name of your T?
My 1911 touring is named "Carl" and my 1916 Coupelet is named "Isabel". Both names are my grandparent's middle name respectively.

Re: FJ - Who do you use for general auto repair - post here
I do all my own work except for alignments, tires, turning rotors and smog checks. Went to trade school for automotive service technology but never went into the trade.

Re: What Have You Done To Your T In January?
Not much to report here but I took the coupelet out for a little spin this afternoon and she ran well, shifting is getting better the more I drive. Plan to attend Cars & Coffee next Saturday.
