Re: Another look at the other side.
The 10th picture from the top looks like its a new Canadian 16 Touring. The odd thing is the left running board looks it’s been hit or slightly bent. Or it may have come like that from the factory?? Maybe when it got shipped dissembled and was slightly bent when it was put together.

Re: Another look at the other side.
Just like the palletized car a couple pics below, you can just make out the fork mounted headlights. These headlights along with the ”kinked” splash apron makes these cars late ‘15 doesn’t it…?

Re: Another look at the other side.
That very well could be. And looking at the palletized T it could be the same car in the 10th photo after it was put together! The T bodies weren’t the most sturdy and it wouldn’t take much to bend the running boards when it was picked up!
Interesting photos!
Interesting photos!

Re: Another look at the other side.
Good eye! I completely missed the bent running board. I was referring to the “kink” or flare at the rear of the splash apron

Re: Another look at the other side.
Clearly Tom R has been surfing the Southern hemisphere! The fifth photo looks to be an Australian 1915, (maybe a Tarrant?) Most of the cars are right hand driven.
The eleventh photo is an incredibly nice model T custom tourer of probably Australian origin (also maybe Tarrant?). 15, 17, 21, 23, all have the larger sloping cowl Australian common standard bodies were noted for during the 1920s.
Photo number 24 is an incredible custom roadster with a great deal of British influence.
I would sure like to know what the large non-Ford is in the seventh photo by the "Motor Garage". Not showing the very front of the car may make it difficult to identify.
Number 30 is interesting. Clearly, there is a model T under that car, although it sure doesn't look much like one!

Re: Another look at the other side.
Guys, the bent running board is on the RIGHT side, as is the steering wheel. The brass trims on the fork mounted headlights and on the sidelights both point to a 10915 model.

Re: Another look at the other side.
I wonder if that Ford-Rolls might have 2 T engines mounted inline?

Re: Another look at the other side.
The speedster in the fourth photo has a Chevy emblem on the radiator shell - or at least the outline of one.

Did anyone notice the original factory stripe on that 1926 touring?

Re: Another look at the other side.
The only New and Improved touring (facing left) I saw looked like someone keyed it

Re: Another look at the other side.
If you look above the "keyed" scratch, you will see a pinstripe about 1.5" down from the top of the doors, which continues around the back of the car. By 1926 the Ford factory in Geelong, Victoria was up and running, making the improved Fords. Towards the end, they were even making them two toned, trying to keep sales going. Those two toned cars had similar pinstriping. It may well be the same pinstripe as those used on those two toned cars, or perhaps a dealer enhancement.

Re: Another look at the other side.
Wonderful photos again. Thanks for sharing. Many of them I have looked at ,studied and filed before but you have also come up with some new Gems which I have not seen before. When I was younger, I used to catch trains from the Frankston railway station into the State capital, Melbourne city. Great to see a photo of the original old Frankston railway station.
