Re: More T pics
In the 8th picture with the 8 women on that car, there are 3 sitting on the top which is down. Surprising they didn't break the bows!

Re: More T pics
Number 15, the late 1926 or 1927 Fordor sedan. Looks like a very nice car. A lot of people today swear that all Fordor sedans from early in 1926 had wire wheels. This car has the nickel shell and headlamp rims, as well as a bar or brace between the headlamps. Whether the bar is Ford factory or after-market? Could maybe determine how early or late the car was. Just thought I should point out the no wire wheels Fordor.
Also, the first picture is bugging me. The one with the 1910 Ford and other touring car at the Fike and Haynes farm? Why can't I see the background behind the car, through the car?
Still, wonderful photos! Thank you Tom R!

Wayne, there were two government officials showing. They were supposed have been elsewhere, so have been redacted, in white.

Re: More T pics
Tom, thank you for posting. The 3rd from the top looks like a very early (1906) Ford “N.” It has the early radiator and bale handle lamps with green and red “eye shades.” Both early N indicators.

Re: More T pics
I couldn't resist........
The coloring program did a good job detecting what was probably the correct color on the firewall (maroon). One sidelamp may have a hint of green, while the other doesn't appear to show red. Maybe two choke/carb controls at the top right of the radiator?
It looks like no brass strip on the firewall. Our N (#3) did not have a brass strip, nor holes to hold on a strip, on the original firewall either. (There's a story there........)

I guess I have been asleep at the switch, just realized that clicking on a picture enlarges it, much more detail visible!

Re: More T pics
The 23rd picture with the 3 young men standing/leaning on that T. Interesting top configuration, looks to be a 2 man top with rear gypsy wings like on a 1 man top.
Fun never quits!

It might be an illusion, but I think I see a white or light-colored tent in the near distance through the top of that photo.

Re: More T pics
One of the men in #1 may be my ancestor, Magnus Olsen, who worked for USDA at that time on the plains telling farmers how to cut down trees to get big fields that could better be handled by tractors and other machinery. In the 1930's that same Magnus Olsen worked for USDA telling farmers how to plant trees to stop the winds causing the dust bowl. And they wonder why we hate government!

#8, It looks like several , if not all, of those girls are related.
# 20, New Mercury speedster, Wow.
That Red Crown gasoline building is something, and great to see that they didn't demolish all of them.
Love the colored photo Rob.
Thanks!!!! Tom jw

Re: More T pics
Adding to Rob’s comments on the Model N in the third photo, another indicator that this is an early Model N is the radiator itself. The honeycomb style indicates that it is a “Climax Cooler”. Also note the radiator cap. It is much larger in diameter than later Model N caps, and threads into the neck instead of on to it. This is what is commonly referred to as a “lightbulb thread” radiator cap because the threads of the cap are extremely course and resemble the threads of a screw in lightbulb.
The box attached to the drivers side must be using some sort of bracket to support it. Model Ns did not have running boards, instead the had step plates. They were just large enough to put your foot on as you climb into the car. Although some aftermarket manufacturers offered running boards that could be attached to your Model N, Ford never put them on Model N’s. The later Model R and S runabouts, and the Model S Roadster did have running boards as standard equipment.
Respectfully submitted,
