Model T era parking lot
Here is a photo of a World Series parking lot in the late teens. Must have been a rush to see the game! Supposedly it’s in Boston for the first series game of 1917. Bet they had a hard time leaving!

Re: Model T era parking lot
Makes my head spin. Just finding your car. Think about it. They hadn't yet learned to set up a parking lot for cars.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Re: Model T era parking lot
When I saw this photo it sure made me wonder how this would have happened. At first I was thinking it was a publicity stunt but if it wasn’t it would be a real night mare if some of those cars wouldn’t start.
The two motorcycles in the bottom of the photo could get out fairly easy. Interesting for sure.

At least three 1915-16 Fords, two of them next to the motorcycles. One other brass-era car tucked further back, a large one. Everything else looks like mainstream early nickel.
Two car interurban train across the street. Base ball game?

A few more 1915-16 Fords, one with black fenders and a light painted body. The door moldings are picked out in black, and it has an accessory speedometer.
