Odd 5 spoke rear wheels on the hack in the next to last photo.

Appears to also be a solid rubber tire.

Thanks for posting these neat photos!

It is surprising to me to see so many women driving the T's. I don't think my grandmother ever drove a car. My grandfather drove "the machine". I remember when my mother and my aunt learned to drive. When I was young, most of the families only had one car and the man drove it to work while the woman stayed home and raised the children! Times have changed.

On that just married coupé picture the tires sure look like Blockleys . . .

Tom, I look forward to your photo posts. You keep out doing yourself. Cant thank you enough. This is the real world back in the 1910-30 era. The cars where used the people didn't always have on there Sunday best. Many could not afford Sunday best clothes. As for lady drivers, My grandmother Dads side of the family lived to be 94 never drove a car was a excellent horse woman. My grandmother, mother side of the family was the "chief driver " and drove her Dad allover for business and the family too where ever they went. She was driving at age 15 , lived to be 100.THe photos always make my day and bring a smile to my face, especially the ones with kids, and those young pretty ladies .

Interesting photos!
The fifth one down from the top must be a farm or ranch crossing as it looks like a cattle guard for the creek crossing.
Looks like an early made T frame trailer in the very last one. They were using T frames way back when!

Looks like a lot of Women were using T’s and driving them. My Mother started driving the family 24 Touring after she got her drivers license at the age of 14. There were 5 kids going to school and she was the one my Grandfather picked to get the license since she was the one who could “best work the pedals”!

She got her license on a Saturday in town and my Grandfather paid the .25 cent fee! She related that story at a family get together. The one she told about the milk trucks delivering milk was the best though.

When the farmers brought in the milk it was poured in vats. Before it was poured in the farmer would use thin wooded paddles to rake off the flies as it was being poured in and then
covered.

Times have changed since then.

I had a car before my Mom even learned to drive. One day my Mom came home and told me she had a learner's permit, as a secret, and asked me to show her how. I taught her and my sister both. Once where there were no cars, I had her floor it, then had her brake hard, saying, "Now you know how it accelerates and how long it takes to stop." I told my Dad what I did and he said, "That's a good idea."

Mr Johnson who had a shop down the street from my parents furniture factory (during the 1940's) had a 25T pickup he had bought new. I rode in it once and he said he would sell it to me some day. A number of years later I went to see him and it was not there! I asked him about it, and he said that during the great depression, he had gone bankrupt and his car was auctioned off. His wife or wife to be, had bought it back and after that it was in her name, and she wanted it to go to someone else, so I didn't get that car :| He had a California drivers license which was issued when he first started to drive. They mailed it to him on a postcard! It said, "good until revoked" It had not been revoked and that was least 20 years after he received it. He never renewed it because it had never been revoked!
