The number, of course do not have to be perfect, but those I have seen are much nicer. Also the embossment seems rather deep. much deeper that those I have seen. Take a look at the 1910 Kim Dobbins sold and at the close up of the engine number (the second photo showing the number.) note how shallow ...

An interesting situation. My note is that on the several early Model T Fords I have owned and on those I viewed over the 70 years, the stamped numbers were all nice and straight and even in a line. The numbers stamped on this engine are not, they appears tohave done my someone other than one at a Fo...

The chassis is also later. The former post on this vehicle notes that it is a look-a-like reproduction, There few if any actual original 1909 parts on this T. A very nice "parade and tour T"

The engine block does not have the casting ridge on the valve side that all 1909 and 1910 engine blocks have.

Some of the parts for the new Model A were in the works early in 1927 as found in the archives at the Benson Library. So I believe that the new Ford was being planned by January 1927 or late 1926. Edsel had long wanted to replace the Model T, but Henry resisted. Edsel suggested features for the new ...

The photo of the "1909" is a well known "look-a-like" that has been featured on this site several years ago. A nice, good looking auto.. You should have posted another full photo of this T.

Thanks for the "email cards" and notes. I ate to much rich food on my birthday and I suffered the results. Okay now and back at work in our store in Excelsior, Mn. Gettting ready for a TOY Show in St Paul this Sunday at the fair grounds. Will have good selections of old toys including auto related. ...

The T pictured appears to be a "put-together" built around a 6 cylinder T engine. created in the 1920s. The engine block may date from the teens, but not the starter unit. The body is odd and does not look like one that Henry would have built for Edsel. Th top is a "make shift".

Interesting photo. I remember Henry Hillman (killed flying an airplane) Earl Hethington (moved out near Excelsior, saw him often) Betz (had a home on Stubbs Bay near me), Harry Pulver, owned a drive Inn on west Lake/Hy 7, Had a farm in Eden Prairie which I visted in later years, Pulver also drove a ...

The spelling of my name at first was Daryl. My father changed it to Darel

that is the wrong poem.. Here is the correct one for my 89th Another year has rolled by I have not been planted yet, I am still above the cold earth; I still take what I can get. The candles on my cake, Will number eighty nine, The cake will be my favorite, Angle food is just fine. My presents will ...

Listen all and I will tell, The story of the kitten who fell in the well. The well was deep And the water cold, the kitten did get out, How needs to be told. Lower the old bucket, Down into the deep, The kitten was crying, And hope I did keep. The bucket hit the water, Beside the little cat, She cli...

did not find them. will look some more.

Darel

I will take a look. I have a pair, but I do not know where.

They delivered that T to the wrong garage. I am in Minnesota.

Okay now, where? Someplace in Minnesota. Some one should know where that hardware store was located.

Great swap meet. Had two empty boxes by the time we left. It would be nice to have a Fall meet also, perhaps in Sept. Cameron has one in Oct.

A very interesting Model T. A fun meet.

Darel

The Pioneer plate has a number that wa issued around 1974.

Bob, I have seen that Model T before or one very similar. 15 years ago we were in Wisconsin at a lake perhaps 20 miles north of Hudson. A person had a summer cottage there and he had a roadster like this one covered with sayings. His regular homne was elsewhere. Where did you find this one?

The rear end appearwd to be fatter than the expanded view, which could make them a clam shell casings.

It is a 1909, 1910 or 1911. The rear end is later, 1913-14 or later. 21 cents in about 1914 would equal about $2 today.,my 1999 Mercury gets 20 mpg on cost of $2.75 a gallon. That is about 14 cents a mile, not accounting oil or insurance.

A great meet. Lots of nice Ts. Sold some parts and visited with friends.

Thank you for your comments

Yes. I am also bringing a 1915 trans cover that hase the lower right role area damage. The ribbed peddles are rusty but may be ok. cheap. I have a electric generator that looks good. reasonable. I have half of a 1915 hood at $65. A small box of NOS or nice items. You pick and I will price. We try to...

are you sure you wired the plugs with the number one on the right and number 4 on the left.(this is looking at the fire wall from the front of the car. Last year when I put the engine back in my 1910, i wired opposite. Could not start it. got a little puff a few times. I corrceced the wiring, starte...

I guess one can call a vintage auto just about anything. What is true is the "The item speaks for itself" Call something, a name, does not change what the item is.

I appreciate the information on the origin of the engine. What thru me off is the chassis has a 1912 front and rear end and a post 1910 radiator. Would not it be better to call this racer a 1912?

The tour is today. the swap meet tomorrow on Sunday.

Used on early 1909 Ts

very nice race about.. But would it not be beter to lable it say as a 1915 with a later engine? You have great cars, but I get converned that the public will think such vehicles are original. I wanted to build up such a speedster with rucksel, muncie, rajo and 1911 srteering collum, but have since s...

tbbbbbbbbb

well said - come and enjoy

open to offers on the items.

Prices are not set in stone

come and take a look. If you need what I list, besure to come to the meet. The parts I list are originals. I will have a variety of other items, small and larger. Nice variety. I have a Muncie trans with reverse. It is heavy, so I might not bring it. no joints. As removed from a chassis 6o years ago...

There will probably be at least on Model T For sale at this meet. Members like to see what is for sale, so they click on this site section. Come to the meet.

The front fenders without a lip could make this T a 1909

The seat is 1909-10. The lower section of the windshield is deep enough so that the upper dash board is not necessary. I would go for 1910.

see my items listed under the Sunday swap meet.

I am bringing an aluminum hood, style 1909-1912 and perhaps 13-14. It is in two sections. One section is complete with out one side. The second piece is the missing side which makes a complete hood. There is difference. The major section has an aluminum handle. The single section has a cast iron han...

just the 1909-10 plate. That is the one I wanr to buy. I have an 1910 Touring and would like a nice timer plate. I have a two piece timer for it.

I would take (buy) the 1909-11 plates.

Darel Leipold do you take PayPal?

are you selling and shipping? I am interested in an original 1909-10 timer plate. there seems to be two illustrated'

Darel Leipold" leipold at same with an s added.org.

Modek Ts and Model As use the same battery, a series 1.

The nespaper is in Seattle, 1947

the year of clipping is 1947

Found this clipping. Does not quite match, but must be related. The info on the license plate number matches.

The Model Ts made in August -Dec 1916 were 1917 models.

This is interesting. When I bought my 1910 I was told by others that had 1910 Ts, that the difference with the 1910 hoods was that they had iron handles. So did all these owners have later hoods on their 1910s?

Kim Dobbins has a 1910 T (March) that is all original including the hood. Perhaps he could let use know if the hood handles are iron or aluminum.

That is the Farmington Swap meet at the fair grounds. 7 a.m. for vendors, 8 a.m for others.

Come to the Farington swap meet of Sunday. You will get more advice that you need, but the swap meet is great.

as a 1917 model year that T could be a year old by the 4th of July, 1918. This T looks as if it has had some use. The dirt roads did make a T look older in just a few weeks.

I bought such a hood 15 years ago. It came with an aluminum handles. The original has cast iron handles. I have owned my 1910 since 1946 and I was informed long ago that the difference of a 1909-10 hood from an 1911 hood was that the 1909 and 1910 hoods had cast iron handles. The very first 1909 hoo...

"tbbbbbbbbbb" This is a fun swap meet with great items to look at and to buy. I am bring several items that are hard to find at this time.

Bob, say more than "bttttt" this is a great swap meet and one that should attract good vendors and gear buyers.
Bring your Model T,
Come and you will see,
Parts and items galore,
And perhaps even more.

This wonderful swap meet deserves a comment more than "bttttttttt" Bob, I am sure you will bring some nice items to sell. I am putting together a nice group including several items seldom seen any more.

A GREAT AND FUN SWAP MEET. Come one and all.

IT IS A FUN SWAP MEET. Come and enjoy. Bring good and also cheap stuff. A good change to find that needed item

Yes, as I remember, Seekon told me it was off a tourabout.

County park in Farmington MN. Vendors at 7 a.m., public at 8. $10 vendor fee. Model T parts only are requested. Drive your Model T when possible. Food truck on site. A fun place. Always good stuff and great people. I plan on being there as a vendor. At almost 89, one never knows. I should have some ...

Interesting. Engine block 8143 was mine at one time and was in the 1909 roadster that went to CA one ago. It was a very good engine block and run very well.

The gas tank is, as I remember, from a 1911 torpedo roadster and the tool box from a 1912. I must have built the lower section.

Yes, that is from the 1909 right hand drive I built up in 1962. The seat is from a Ford. I bought it from Louis Seekon. The chassis came from Fairbault MN.

Timer setting. It maybe to much retarded.

USA is my land and nation and your land and nation. It is our land and nation because of those who served to keep it that way. I seved in the army 1950-53 and the reservers until Nov. 1956. We honor all those who served and we remember all with gratitude.

Interesting Model T. Original aftermarket body or is it a recent modern reproduction? Looks clean and probably well maintained. Probably will bring about $8500. Titled as a 1925?

I have dealt with Tim often with fine results. And I agree, go directly to the person, rather than on line.

1926 was the last model year you could order or buy a Ford with NO OPTIONS. The T came with wood wheels, 30 x 3 1/2 and 30x 3 tires, black radiator shell, no starter or generator. I once saw an low milage original one and it was an unusal Model T.

Take out your Model T Ford on memorial day. If it is one that was new or used in 1917-18, put an American Flag on or about it, in memory of those you served in "The War to end all wars" If it is later one, also have a flag on it to honor those you served ion later wars or conflicts. My 1910 Touring ...

I would be great if one of his restored carburetors was on display at the Model T museum.

Near Spicer Minnesota in the 1950-60s there was a 40 acre auto junk yard that had been there since the 1930s. The man name was Oscar Palm. He lived in a two room house. There were several out buildings including an old barn. The place was full on pre 1940 auto parts with some complete chassis and so...

The coupe is a first series 1923. Theywere a carry over from 1922.

Stan the man Was first class In all that he had done. Some was serious wok, But much was just for fun. Carburetors would gils’n At auctions he would cry, He would sing & lead a band, He certainly was not shy. His memory will linger on, Tales we will tell, And all of his work we will say, That it was...

It is unlikely than any of those young women are alive today, today is the birthday of a 111 year old lady here in Minnesota.. Being born in 1910, she would have been 17 if she was in that photo.

The last photo is of Independence Rock in Wyoming. I visted that rock in 1945 with my father when camping out looking for jade rocks, which I still have 200 lbs of. The 1027 Model T touring looks new. Nice set of photos, nice to list them as a tribute to Stan.

I meant friends. He was going to do a 5 ball for me for my 1910 T.

A sad day for fiends and autocollectors.

I hope the swap meet hosts will soon post more information

A great swap meet

There will more information on this meet from the club officers. But I want to let you all know the Model T Swap meet will be on Sunday, June 13 in the park on the south side of town of Farmington MN.. In the past, vendors can come in starting at 7 a.m. and other at 8 a.m. The cost is low and there ...

Locally I can get $3 for a silver mercury dime. I have several rolls of them plus some silver Rosevelt ones. I keep them so that I feel that I have some real money.

Lost my posting. I wanted to note that one can call their T anything they want to call it, for it does not change what the T actually is. A 1910 T is a 1910 Model from August 1909 to August 1910. I always said "the item speaks for itself". Call an item what you may, it does not change it. I know peo...

Wanted to post it just once.

All 1910 Model Ts have bowed top irons when original, as far as original Ts have been found as as listed in original sales information.

The rear end photo shows the style that was used in the late 1909 Model Year and was used in the early 1910s made in August of 1909.

I also wonder about the "rear end" housing. When was the stamped steel plainrear end discontinued and the 1910 style first used. The housing appears to be the 1910 model year one used until about late May 1910.

It is interesting that there is a buggy rail on the front seat as a roadster would have. Could it have been that the tour-a-bout back section was added, perhaps soon after the T was built and delivered? If the tour-a-bout section was added at the body factory in Pontiac MI, it is indeed a "rare" Mod...

It would be interesting to see a copy of the original build sheet.

An interesting vehicle. Compare the , as found photo, with the rebuilt. photo. The tour about body is known as a 1910 model. This T was built in June, 1909. The resent photo shows numerous 1909 features. It would be interestingly know to what is original to this T and what was added or replaced. It ...

Minnesota motor vehicle license plates. Those from 1921 on can be registered for a car of that year. Those for previous years are foreshow only. Various conditions. If you are looking for a pair or for a single, let me know. It takes me sometime to find a plate in my 10 0r 12 boxes of plates before ...

All of the replies are great. When I suggested this topic,, I said it was the brass headlights that I liked, but it is musch more. This morning I opened a garage door to show of my 1910 to someone and mentioned that I have owned the T for 74 years. I then realized my fatorite part if the whole car. ...

For my 1910 Touring, it is the original headlights. They are Model 15 J Browns. They are almost perfect. The Ford name on top show little wear. They are straight and have nice original reflectors. Might sound silly of me to admire them, but they are one example of the craftamanship that went into th...

I always have gone by the Ford listing model year, the exceptiopn might be the 1914 style open Model Ts which where made in to 1915. I believe that the open Ts were made into February. The open style bodies were not ready well into 1915. The closed Ts for the 1915 model year were introduced and manu...

I meant to say"we " not not just "I". we all have a car in mind we should have kept,

We all sometimes think of the car I should have kept and not sold. I have several in mind, 1965 Mustand convert, the 1932 B400, The 1909 right hand drive Model T Roadster and perhaps a few more (The 1918 Chev "hardtop" coupe is one.) What car should you have kept and not sold?

a 1300 higher number than my 1910 Touring./ Did anyone look up what to see this came out of? Has the original timer plate and original timer. There are a few 1910s out there with later engines. This would be a good fit for a 1910 that needs the correct block.

That is probably the smoke from a coal fired furnace. Cheap low grade coal would result in black or dark smoke. Anthecite or brickets would burn clean.

Cousins was on good terms with Henry according to some history writings He was well off as a result of the dividends FMC paid.
