The second picture looks like a 1914 T with another non Ford in front of Mt Rainier.

Keith McG,
I don't recognize the big car either, but I do like it! And the T is clearly a 1914 style, which was actually manufactured for well over a year and a half! Due to weakness in the 1913 style, they began production by July of 1913. And then due to production delays of the new 1915 style front cowl, continued clear into April of 1915!
Most people simply see them all as a "1914". Seriously, it does take an up close look to really tell the difference. The only detail that can be seen in many photos is the "bill" on the front fenders. "Most" 1913s and true 1914s did not have the "bill". There was a transitional front fender used on late 1914 style cars, and early 1915 style cars, that had the "bill" along with the four rivet mounting bracket on the top of the fender. How early they showed up on the 1914 style cars? I don't know. How late on the 1914 style cars the "no bill" fenders were still being used? Again I don't know. And I don't know exactly when the later three rivet bracket fenders were showing up on the 1915 style cars.I do know (based upon survivor unrestored cars) that still existed fifty years ago, that the four rivet fenders were still showing up on SOME 1915 style cars as late as May and June of 1915.
Fun stuff!

I hadn't looked closely at that photo until I read your comments about it. Thank you for that!
I didn't notice that was Mt. Rainier until I went back and looked closer.
About fifteen years ago, we did a big family vacation to visit your mountain. What a beautiful area!
One night there, one of our sons and I headed into the nearby town to pick up some supplies, heading into town shortly after nightfall. I glanced into my rear view mirror and saw an incredible sight! I knew about the Alpenglow, and also knew it doesn't happen all the time, it only happens when the weather and clouds are just right. But there it was, in all its magnificent glory!
