In that picture by the riverside under the stone overhang, that is a place I would want to pass by as quickly as possible! I can't imagine parking the car and getting out to take a picture there! However I live in earthquake country, so that is one of the reasons why.

Can anyone colorize the photo of the wrecked 1910? I'd love to see the red pinstripe on the green body.

Looking at the wreck photo I’d say it’s a 09 as the front guard is square (no Bill)?
Either way it’s a dam shame to see what’s looks like a new car in such a mess. Maybe a learner driver!!

Colorization didn't do the job so here is one of Craig Beek's cars a green body with red pinstripe

Having zoomed in a couple times now on that early wreck of a new T, I have to say I think it is a 1910. The squared off no-bill front fenders caught my eye immediately when I first saw the picture. However, several details indicate the car is likely a late 1909 or 1910.
Although details are not as clear as I would like it does appear to be three pedals, and single lever for the brake. While neither the pedals or the lever are quite clear enough to be certain of that, the single shadow of the brake lever pretty much confirms that.
Another not clear enough detail, is the small amount of the running board that can be seen. It appears to have the pressed steel with longitudinal ribs used in 1910, not the wooden board with a linoleum like material.
The kicker is the butterfly rear fender bracket. The right rear fender can be seen fairly well, and the butterfly bracket clearly runs up between the rear fender skirt and the body, a 1910 characteristic. Much of 1909 had the butterfly brackets run up under/inside the fender.
The car could be a moderately late 1909, or 1910. Now, my understanding is that the squared front fenders were an early 1909 feature, used for only a short while. I am not really an 'expert' on the 1909 and 1910 cars? So maybe I was wrong? Or, maybe this is simply another anomaly of production?

Maybe Trent B or some other better authority on the early models could weigh in on those details?
I am still trying to learn more.

Picture #13 is on the wall in Mark Chaffin's shop (an original, I think) and is identified as "Grand Avenue, Buena Park Calif." That street only runs a couple of blocks and the north end is right at Knott's Berry Farm's main entrance.

Thank you so much for these. I tested them and hotpot.ai worked best among them. However, I tried another tool known as Image Colorizer and found it performed way better than all these. You can add that in the list if you would like to.

You put your left foot in
You take your left foot out
You put your left foot in
And you shake it all about
You do the hokey pokey
And you turn yourself around
That's what it's all about.

I believe the lady standing beside the float may be famous!

I colorized this picture as well. Isn't that Mary Pickford, 'America's Sweetheart' beside the float?

For those who smoke or did at one time, when did you smokr your first cigarette? I probably was 14 and smoked just one cigarette. From that time until I joined the army at 18, I probably smoked a total of 6 cigarettes. In the army I could by cigs at $1 a carton. I ended up given them away. In Germany, I sold the cartons for 10 marks and used that money to buy interesting items to send back home. I never did take up the habit and at 89 appreciated that it has been 60 years since I smoked a cigar (never smoked many of them).
