The photo caption said this was a blacksmith shop converted to a garage around 1915. Supposed to have been in 1915 and the owner had a
Oldsmobile dealship.
The front springs look different than a T but the car other T similarities. Looks like the engine is a T. Might have been posted before but not sure.

It's got a '15 - '16 hood former - shocks are accessory.

The Ford front spring is there, partially hidden by those accessory shockers. It looks to be a tourer fitted with a California fixed top.

Great photo. Those old shops are the best. I can almost smell the oil and gas.
Thanks

I was drawn to these sort of places as a child, fascinated by the cacophany
of visual texture and ambiance of ancient things my grandparents knew as
normal, everyday things. The lighting, the smells, all the curious things to
look at. It was heaven. I have done my best to not make my shop too neat
or modernly equipped to capture that essence of those memories of Lottsville
or Scramlin's Garage. I love spending time here just puttering about.

How authentic it all used to look, I think people were much happier then than they are now (

This is one of those photos that, is you know, you can SMELL more than you can See.

If you don't know that, then I'm sorry... because this is really important.

The aroma of hydrocarbons and Exhaust and Lube Grease and maybe even castor oil....

If you know, you know.
