and I’m quarantined thought I’d drop some Folks with their Fords. I need something to do.

Picture #7 from the top:

"You'll have to drive yourself to school Suzie. The rest of the family has covid and the newspaper said we're locked down and can't leave the house."

Once again, an excellent selection of era Ford photos. Thanks Tom but I’m sorry you and yours are caught up in this pandemic. Glad to see a picture of a real ‘15 centerdoor. I believe the body panel aft of the doors and below the ‘belt line’ was one piece this year. Many brassie centerdoors are around nowadays that started life as an early 20s

Yep, as always thanks for such great pics! Too bad they had to come about this way. Get well soon.

The last picture is the most curious to me. I can’t tell for sure but is the one boy holding a bowl over the head of the other boy? Possibly these boys had bowl haircuts or can anyone else have an idea what was going on. Maybe their heads were shaved?? Interesting photo after all these years!

So great to "see" from you again! Hope all goes well with the COVID thing. I always love to see the great old pictures you post!
Get well soon!!

Whenever I see great old photos like these I wonder if any of the T’s in them are the ones I am working on and driving today….

There are 3 "boys" who have bald heads! Either have a family problem with the hair, or they are older than they look and a bit short. Some diseases can also cause baldness. I suspect it was a special look . The boy with the cast on his arm does not look old enough to be bald. It would be interesting to find out just what was going on.

Could be head lice.

The bald kids may have some kind of infestation, like head lice or ringworm. Or maybe they're about to take part in a school play based on of those Pearl S. Buck stories.

Get out the kerosene, Paw... them kids is crawling with nits!

Hey Tom R, Sad to hear you and family have joined the legions. Hopefully, it will be mild for you and yours?
Our oldest just came down with it about two weeks ago. He is out of state, so we haven't been exposed yet (as far as we know?). So far he has had a relatively mild bout with it, and is already doing much better. He said he had one day with it that was really rough.

Feel better soon!

For those interested in the correct shape of the sides of a '13-14 runabout top, it is shown nicely in one of the photos above.

Which pic Larry ? The ‘17 - ‘22 runabout first pic of July 25 @ 1:34 with demountable rims ? Is a nice top

I love old pics of babies and toddlers with Model Ts. I always think how different the world they were born into was compared to their parents, thanks to that machine they are posing with!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

We can only imagine the story behind each but what fun.
Thanks again and take care.

Photo #3
Very interesting as it looks like a water flume running along the hillside above the house.
