Model T RV or business vehicle in Alpine Tx.

Post by John kuehn » Tue Oct 04, 2022 10:24 am

Here’s a Model T that has a custom build body. Looks like it’s pretty new vehicle. Doesn’t look dusty or dirty. Writing on photo says it’s 1920.

If you're talking about the one in the center forefront, it looks like a custom built bus or jitney.

This is a very interesting picture with lots of T's. There are no 1914 T's that I can see, those with straight rear fenders.

If you look at the upper right of the picture at the large building on the hill that is the start of Sul Ross University. It was so modern compared to the other buildings in Alpine it looks photoshopped!

A couple of Ts are converted to pickups and the Centerdoor is nice. I see a Dodge Roadster just to the left of the "jitney".
We are so lucky to see street scenes to remind us of those days.
Thanks
Rich
When did I do that?

An interesting photo to be sure. Of the fourteen or fifteen cars that can be seen? One of them is a very light "color", nearly white! I wonder what the car is?
