A couple months back, one of the guys' wife on here was making Model T masks - my friend's wife in B.C. made a pair for my wife & I.

I was thinking, the triangle "Universal Car" logo would fit just about perfectly...

Nothing political about Facemasks - actually, they're period-correct for a mid-1918 to early 1920 car... :mrgreen:

Wonder if they had fashion face masks during the 1918 flu pandemic.

Double layer, protects against underheating. Works best folded under the seat. Come in two different colors of binder twine.

I have one of those masks made by the guy's wife, VERY nice, but amazingly, I get few comments on it. The odd thing, about a month ago someone showed up at the farmer's market with one on, and my wife didn't stop him to ask about his T interests ( I wasn't there, I would have chased him down!). Thought I knew everyone in this are into Ts--but there is someone ELSE out there!
T'ake care,

You probably knew him - just couldn’t tell behind the mask. 🙄

During the Memorial Day week the image of these 8 suspects were captured while they invaded a Tennessee pizza restaurant.
The masks were made of Model T Ford pattern fabric by one of the wives.

I am president of the local Ford car club. We will be having our 36th annual Ford Powered Car show in August. We were able to secure 120 masks made by Ford with a small Ford logo in a corner of the mask. Got them through a local Ford dealer. I haven't seen one yet, but have been told they were pretty neat.
