A friend found this. Is enough showing to make a PID ?

1923 to 25.
Slanted windshield.

Interesting spare tire rack made from a touring rear mt. I had a T in Hawaii that had an identical rig.

low radiator, slant w/s. 22-23

low cowl, so its a '23

Yes it does look like a early 23 low cowl.
Wonder what happened to the chassis or did I miss it. This is a genuine barn find I think. Looks like it’s been there a long time.

I missed it! The lower part of the car is covered up. You can just see the headlights. And maybe the engine.

It's a 1923.

The spare rim carrier is an accessory which was made from what appear to be mainly Ford parts with "special" brackets to mount to the running board - I believe I sold mine to Original Smith a while back.

Thanks, super sleuths ! Good intel !

Late '23 it has a steel fire wall early '23 had wood fire walls

early 23 can have wood firewall. most low cowl 23's have a steel firewall slant w/s, & 1 man top. f/w is shorter & narrower. at some point, ford sold the small steel f/w as replacement for the wood f/w's. as scarse as you would expect them to be, i have seen quite a few at swapmeets over the years.
I take particular notice. my first t is one of those "rare" 23's, 40 years ago. since then i have seen many. dont seem to actually be that rare.

It's even more complicated.



How can you instantly tell the 1923 steel firewall from the 1924-25? 1924-25 has a big wiring hole above the terminal block; 1923 doesn't.
