Identify Car Year in Old Photo

Post by namdc3 » Sun May 05, 2019 9:03 pm

Here's a photo of a photo of my great grandfather in what appears to be a fairly well constructed express-bodied T. What year is the chassis? If anyone would like a close-up view of any detail of the photo, I'd be happy to oblige. Thank you.

If you click the photo, it will open right side up (at least it is for me in the preview).

It appears to be made from a 1915 or 1916 as far as I can tell. The coil box lid appears to have a slant to it.
Or perhaps the windshield frame lengths indicate '14 or even '13.
Other theorys?
When did I do that?

Having it right side up might help
