I think it’s in Visalia CA in a private museum.

Phil and I were good friends, and I don't recall the1912! The one I remember is a 10 or 11.

The car has removable front doors. I believe that dates it to 1912.

According to Phil’s website, it’s a 1911 with fore doors that were retrofitted, rather crudely, to the the car. However, the car was built in November of 1911, so by Ford's records, it's a 1912.
