Re: Ford Friday
Once again, fantastic era photos !! Many thanks for posting. I know a little something about the touring with TEX license plate 156533. That was the first year of state issued plates - 1917. They first came out in 4 digits (very rare), then 5 digits and finally 6 digits. If you look on the radiator core; the round license plate will be 1919 and the rectangular will be 1920. And I’m thinking this was the year of the photo. 1921 and 1922 will still be a smaller and dated license plate but they’re not installed.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people

Re: Ford Friday
Neat T photos!
The first T photo with the young lady on the hood! It makes me wonder what the hood looked like after she got down from the car. We would worry about something like that today and cringe when we think about it. But not so much back then!
One of interest to me is the 24 or 24 cut off touring the old guy is sitting in with the sacks piled in it.
If you look at the running board you can see the floorboard has been taken out of it and a hammer. I wonder what the issue was many years ago!
Neat photos of how T’s really looked like in everyday use. A few of them haven’t been cleaned up in a few years by the looks of it. No black and shiny T’s for these folks. Nice history lesson.
The one with the guy coming out of the house with crutch’s and the suited gentleman waiting for him by his (I think) 15 or 16 Roadster. Is he a Dr coming to check on his patient? Makes you wonder!

Re: Ford Friday
John, that can't be a doctor's car. It's not a coupe.

Re: Ford Friday
Are they checking out a new set of wire rims in photo #7 ?

Re: Ford Friday
Your right Allan! I thought someone would wonder about that! Maybe the Dr. bought the wrong car? . And looking closer at the Gal on the hood photo the T has drum headlights on it. Maybe for better night driving?
