I just saw this thread yesterday and I thought I'd chime in as I've owned the car for over 15 years and can answer some of the questions that people have speculated about. The engine 10873XXX is original to the car and has a November 24, 1924 build date - so it's definitely a 1925 model year coupe. ...

I also have one of the January 1913 heads with the full date. Ray Green posted a photo of a head with the date of 1-11-13 in Sept. 2011. The one that I've pictured is very close to Bob McDaniel's date of 1-20-13. Regarding Larry's comments on the faint "MADE IN USA" text under the Ford - my head doe...

Four of us from the Tin Lizzies of Albuquerque made it to Duncan. We had four spaces in building C that turned out to be well-located as it was closer to the center of the fairground buildings. We didn't know what to expect on this, the first year of the Pre-war section at Duncan but we were pleasan...

Kim - What a kind and generous donation to the museum and to the hobby! There's no better source for Model T enthusiasts than to see a well-cared-for original car. Thank you for your decades-long devotion to educating other collectors through your research and personal observations. Not only are you...

A contingent of Model T guys from the Tin Lizzies of Albuquerque will be at Duncan. We've reserved 4 spaces in Bldg. C. We always had a fun time at Chickasha, and hope Duncan will be as enjoyable. It's also opportunity to see many of our friends in the hobby. I've seen Steve Jelf at Chickasha throug...

I've been restoring a 1913 coil box and coils for a touring car project. The box I started with had two correct coils and I found two others from separate sources on eBay. I replaced the capacitors and points before repotting the boxes with type III asphalt per Ron Patterson's suggestion from previo...

Yesterday I too received the e-mail version that said Larry wanted to ask me a question. It started out "Hi Wednesday" so I knew it was a scam as Larry obviously knows my name. Aside from the scam, I'm honored to be on the contact list with so many prominent, knowledgable, and active Model T folks! ...

In response to Rich's question, here's a photo of the bottom of the head. It could stand to be cleaned up a bit more but it appears to be in good shape.

Hi Larry,
I too was looking for an 1913 head. I wanted to find one cast early in the calendar year. I was lucky to find one on eBay and it arrived last week. I removed some surface rust before taking these pictures.

Hello Mike, thank you for posting the historical photo of Albuquerque with the brass-era Model Ts. The photo will be of great interest to my fellow members of the Tin Lizzies of Albuquerque!

Best wishes,
Mark Wing

Hello Leonard,
I just sent you a private message.

If you do a search for 1890's surrey buggy you see an example that matches your mystery part. Good luck!

Just a guess - but could it be a part of the seat for a horse drawn carriage?

Russ - what a wonderful restoration! What a great example of attention to detail and dedication to authenticity of a rare car. I want to give Russ a "shout out" as he has been very helpful and supportive of me on an early (rear opening trunk lid) 1915 Coupelet that I'm restoring. In addition to bein...

Hello Tom,

Thank you for posting such a wonderful collection of photos! They certainly put a smile on my face.

Hello Dick, I too have a 1925 model year (Nov. 1924 casting date) coupe and I cut off power by running the ground cable from the battery to a switch located in the storage compartment under the driver's side seat. The return cable from the switch is grounding to the frame in the original location. I...
