Re: I’ll bet they had a good time.
Found this clipping. Does not quite match, but must be related. The info on the license plate number matches.

Re: I’ll bet they had a good time.
Absolutely awesome!
The next challenge is trying to find out where the car is, and who owns it today! By that year, and after the WWII scrap drives were over , it would have been more regarded as a valuable antique than just s worn out old car.
Perhaps it si still somewhere in the family!

Beautiful - awesome and inspiring.
Especially in today’s view of trading in your car every 4-6 years for the warranty, new technology and keeping up with the neighbors.
To find that T would be so special!
What a wonderful story - thanks for posting.

Re: I’ll bet they had a good time.
Wow! Someone who drove a Model T as their primary car, everyday, for 30 years and across all 48 states, must have known all the tricks to driving and maintaining it in top running condition. I’ll bet he did all his own work and wouldn’t allow anyone else to work on “Our Henry”. Would’ve loved to have known them. I wonder how long they lived and what ever became of them. Jim Patrick

Re: I’ll bet they had a good time.
In April, my wife and I drove our 1950 Ford F1 on our 25th anniversary from New Orleans on US route 61 up to Minnesota. We ain't that old but I kinda know what it feels like. Looking forward to doing it in a T.

According to FamilySearch.org:
John Frederick Hielscher born 15 June 1866, Le Seur MN
Died 27 November 1955, Seattle WA
Leah Gertrude Zehnder born 7 October 1866, West St Paul MN
Died 26 August 1954, Seattle WA
Not 100% sure but I will bet it is them.
