Something fishy here . . .
A big ol' sturgeon caught in the Snake River in the Burley area, no date given. Too bad we can't see all of this 1914 touring. The hood louvres indicate an accessory front end. Photo taken in front of a Ford dealership.

Re: Something fishy here . . .
Holy crap Rich that's one big fish!! We used to have Sturgeon here in Lake Erie decades ago, up to 30 feet long. Rumor has it the evasive Lake Erie monster, a.k.a. "Lemmie" is still out there and probky the 30 foot length.
Cool pic, interesting car.

If the car survived it would have some interesting patina front to back!Rich Bingham wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 2:04 pmA big ol' sturgeon caught in the Snake River in the Burley area, no date given.

Steve, I'm pretty sure that Ford logo is painted on the glass. Personally, I think that "winged pyramid" was the most elegant !

Re: Something fishy here . . .
George House mentioned in another post "If I’m not mistaken, that ‘14 touring represents the last year of that sign."
I wish I could remember who made that accessory hood.

Disirregardlessly, the winged pyramid was Ford's best logo ever.
More people are doing it today than ever before !

Re: Something fishy here . . .
Haggerman museum has several photos of monstrous sturgeon fish. My question is how old are they. I remember a story about a turtle hunter changing his ways after he found arrow heads and black powder rifle balls embedded in one of the turtles.
24-28 TA race car, 26 Canadian touring, 25 Roadster pickup, 14 Roadster, and 11AB Maxwell runabout
