So many interesting things in each photo. The jaunty angle of the 1919 Indiana plate in the last one.
How nice to see these!

Notice the last photo, '15/'16 touring car has a replacement brass radiator.

The car also has H&D type shock absorbers, second only to Hasslers in popularity on model Ts. Also interesting. The oil sidelamps have unusual font bowls. Flat bottoms with a rib around the middle. These are very similar to some of the very early '15 style side and tail lamps. Similar lamps were also sold after-market. The car is a bit beat, paint faded and dirty. Along with the replacement radiator it appears to have seen some rough usage. With black trim on all the lamps, it is unlikely it would be an early '15. The front wheels do appear to be 30 X 3.5, but no driver's door hinges, so not likely a Canadian build.
Looks like the people are having fun!

The car in the center photo by the hotel loos like Dean Yoder might be staying for the night

should have said third photo in front of the garage

I like the terrain and the street in that third photo. I can't decide if I see the "Dean" vehicle as a White or Flanders. It's not a T.

I would sure like to know where that third photo was taken. Very interesting area.

The Durlin hotel is on old route 66 in Oatman, Arizona. Wikepedia has it listed.

Allan from down under.

The Canyon Country Model T Club has toured Oatman, AZ many times. Today, a feature of the town are the burros that roam the streets at will. It's not uncommon to find a burro in one of the shops along main street. The street you see here is US Highway 60, but in 1926 the route became the famous US Highway 66. Russ Furstnow

Thanks Allen and Russ. It still looks pretty fabulous!

Top picture is Roseville, Cal.

Tom,
I live in Roseville, Ca and would love to know what street that photo was taken on. Do you have any more info on it?

Chris, ask these people where the Ford dealership was circa 1920.

Chris, I recall it said it was the hwy thru town. I don’t recall where I found the pic, as I delete them out for more space. Good luck.

Could the third picture be Bisbee, Ariz.?

Oatman, Az. Our club went there about 4 years ago. We stopped in a local cafe for some coffee and dessert. While there a group of motorcyclists came in. They had parked together in front of the place. While we were there someone came in, and asked," Who owns those motorcycles?". A burro had bumped one of them and it was like a domino effect!
