Great pics. The '14 in second pic has interesting demountable wheels.

Re: Old pics- really
Wonderful photos! So many details to look at.
I like how the back of the 1914's top was patched up to put the smaller framed glass oval light in the back. I wonder what the story is behind that? Such a large patch for a small window? Also notice the car has Hassler Shocks on it. They were an early accessory for model Ts, Advertising for them began about 1914.
A really nice 1915 touring car (4th picture), with a nice front bumper. A couple other cars decorated for parades.
The 6th photo, a 1913 touring car, has electrified headlamps, and an electric horn. No doubt a battery inside that running board box!
Next one (number 7) also a 1913 touring car, still with acetylene gas headlamps.
Number 8 is one of several famous photos of "The Man Without Hands". A remarkable story that can be found on the internet fairly easily. He deserves to be remembered for his perseverance overcoming a devastating accident to rise into a valued member of his community and an inspiration to handicapped people everywhere.
The model N Ford is great! Even better after you straightened it!
Do you mind if I share this one with the Early Ford Registry forum?

Re: Old pics- really
And we’re all so fastidious in maintaining 55-60 PSI in our 30” tires but a lot of the pics of empty Ts reveal very low tire pressure. They get more interesting every submission Tom. Thanks again !

Great pics as always. Thank you for posting the thread. The Model N is an early one (radiator). Again, thank you.

Re: Old pics- really
I like the expression of the people in 12 and 14. In 12 they all look sad like may be they didn't want their picture taken or maybe they were waiting for someone to come and fix the car! Number 14 the older folks are very serious and the younger they get the more mischievious they are!

Re: Old pics- really
Don't know why anyone would patch that up and destroy the visibility like that!

The townsfolk in picture # 1 seem unpreturbed by the presence of the Yeti.

Is that a huge cat on top of the stuff stacked on the hood?

Looks like a dog to me. I haven't seen a cat with long drooping ears like that.
