The first picture looks to be a family of professional T-sitters.

Thank you for posting these!
Number 7 down is Henri Depasse, French Ford agent, with one of the Ford Special racers. It was sent to France in the spring of 1911 to compete in the Grand Prix and small car races. It had a special engine, Bosch magneto, dual ignition (no low tension coils, aluminum crankcase, auxiliary exhaust ports and other features. Depasse wrecked while practicing the race route, killing the mechinican. The racer was rebuilt and later in the summer placed 2nd overall in the Mont Ventoux hill climb, one of Europes premier competitions. The Mount Ventoux course is very similar to the Pikes Peak run, with similar grade, overall distance and turns.
