Re: Where did Dodge brothers make parts for the Model T
The Ford Piquette Plant is a very similar building, and I believe is the building in the photo of Mrs. Ford on the test drive.
The Piquette Plant's front door is centered on the front side of the building. This Dodge plant has the front door offset. Otherwise very similar buildings.

Re: Virtual Model T Tour
In honor of Mother's Day, I thought I would take you on a rather substantial detour. Here is a picture of my own mother holding my oldest sister. Mom.jpg In the background is my parent's 1946 Plymouth Club Coupe. My sister was born in March of 1948, so this photo was probably taken in the spring of ...

Re: Virtual Model T Tour
One of my favorite Model T events is the breakfast run the Midwest Chapter of MTFCI has each June in honor of John & Irene Stynoski. Due to the times, there will be no breakfast run in June this year. Here are some Model T's and other fine cars from last year: 20190602_091753.jpg 20190602_102650.jpg...

I haven't been on that many Model T tours, but one thing I learned pretty quickly is, once it gets to 3-3:30 in the afternoon, start looking for: 20190714_162755 (4).jpg And you better get there early, or you will have trouble finding a place to park: 20190714_162335 (2).jpg 20190714_162755 (3).jpg
