I’m Jimmie Rodgers (Jim), I am retired and live in Big Rapids,Michigan,
My wife,Marlene & I own 2 Model T Fords, a 1926 Tudor and a 1919 Roadster, still a work in progress.
We were members of a 16 car club MTFC international for 20 years. But, most of the members got old and are no longer with us resulting in dissolution of the Tinkering Ts. The roadster will be my last T project. I have a small collection of T parts I will be listing.
I look forward to virtually meeting some of you!

My first ? How can I tell what year my roadster really is? I’v Been told it probably belongs to the 16 - 20 group.

Newcomer. Jim

Welcome fellow Michigander - sorry to hear the Tinkering T's are ageing out - the Casual T's had a tour to Jugville near Fremont back in mid-October led by a member from Vestaburg. Earlier we went to Houghton Lake and another time to Cadillac. Send me your email and I'll put you on a notification list when things are happening that you might be interested in. I'm located in the Thumb but "have trailer, will travel...."

Welcome to the forum. Do you have any pictures of the roadster including the radiator and cowl, windshield and the rear axle assembly the wheels etc. There were some changes between 1916 to 1920 and it might be easy for someone on the forum to identify what year you have. The engine number could be helpful, however, many cars today have engines manufactured a different year from the body. You also could have a combination of parts from different years if the car was disassembled when you bought it.

What Norm said. This page on selling a T suggests what pictures to take. If you post all those and the engine serial number I expect we can pin down what you have.

Jim,

Welcome to the forum! I think you will find some good support from the group. And once the COVID situation gets under control you may want to see if there is enough interest to get another group going in your area.

Respectfully submitted,
