Re: Just give it a good spin!
The last picture of a T driving through a Sequoia in California was probably taken in the 20’s.
Wasn’t that tree damaged or burned since then? I hope not but lots of fires have happened since then.
That tree has been in National Geographic a few times.

Re: Just give it a good spin!
If that's the Wawona Tunnel Tree, it is now a big log.! I first passed through it in 1945 with my parents in a 1936 Ford. Also later in a 1931 Model T Phaeton in 1962. Then later in a 1949 Cadillac Fleetwood about 1979. Now the road is closed to cars and you take a shuttle bus. The tree fell down a number of years ago. It's a wonder it lasted as long as it did with the weight above the damaged trunk.

Re: Just give it a good spin!
Tom the first picture of the child holding the crank handle is interesting not only for the contrast but also because of the headlamp. It appears to be a Jno Brown model 19 but with a model 15 door. I do love the picture & the information teased in the headlamp.

Re: Just give it a good spin!
The no. 16 picture from the top looks like it’s a new car that’s either being delivered or to be taken somewhere. It’s a 2 tone car with a new spare rim and no tags. I’ll bet it’s a grey or beige color with black fenders. Maybe a 25 Touring? Probably Ford?

Re: Just give it a good spin!
I look at these and try to imagine what it was like that then. And I marvel at the fact that these are every day cars. Any photos of these vintage with the Halloween theme?
