Happy 2021 to all. I am so thankful to have a Model T in my life. (a Duesenburg would be nice too! LOL)
Myself and another person on the forum are curious as to the people in the picture with Henry Ford.
For all intense purposes the car is a 1912....early production or late, it really doesn't matter.
Now Edsel would have been 19 when this picture was taken circa 1912, so the baby isn't Edsel.
I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.

No idea, but honestly, Ford's head looks photoshopped into the picture.

John,
It could be useful if you were to attribute the photo. This may assist others to help you in your quest.

Perhaps the others in the photo will never be known!?! Life goes on.
One possible clue...the passenger walks with a limp.
I looked that one up in the clues closet.
Well I will name them....left to right, Sarah(lady), Jessica(baby), Parker(passenger).
I’m reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can’t put it down.

AND... The baby's name is Carol.
From the best Ford historian I know, Mike Skinner;
"Jerry – I knew the older gentleman was THE Henry Ford’s uncle, Henry Ford. But I had to look up the other names: Nancy Nutt and her daughter, Carol Nutt."

Even though the car has been identified as a 1912, that is not necessarily the year the photo was taken. It is possible that the year was 1917, the baby is Henry II, the young woman is Edsel’s wife, and the old lady, her grandmother, for according to Henry Ford’s family tree, the only female relative he had in the age range of the old lady, was an aunt and she did not look like the older woman seated in the T.

As cited in the book, (but obviously not 1910)....
