Old photo - Brass era Model Ts
Found this interesting photo ebay, based on the license plates I think it was taken in Poitiers.

FYI, Poitiers is a city on the Clain river in west-central France.

Three 1915 model Ts, and an electrified 1913. I don't know what the little (French?) car is, but I like it.
The war would likely have been in its early stages. They had no idea what was coming.

Maybe Lang's could add that Ford script to their radiator covers?

Re: Old photo - Brass era Model Ts
Thanks J E G, Le Zebre actually crossed my mind looking at the photo. But I don't have much reference material for English or French marques. I have always been fascinated by automobiles from Europe and Great Britain. I have seen pictures of several French Le Zebre automobiles over the years, but not enough to readily recognize them.
Again, thank you for the picture, and the information.
