Help Finding Fallen T Pics

Some years ago I remember a post here containing photos of a Model T being hoisted up to a second floor doorway of a theatre by way of two forklifts. The T was to be used as part of the set for a live production. The last photo showed the car in a heap on the ground, it fell off the forks before reaching the open doorway.

Does anyone have copies of those pics, or can you post the link? I looked briefly but didn't find the link.

And I'm not looking to rekindle some bad memories of an unfortunate accident, just seeking some material for a Model T 'scrapbook', no pun intended. Respectfully, jb

I remembered it had something to do with a production of "Ragtime" so that's how I did a Google site search of mtfca.com. Found it right away.

I’ve seen some wrecked, fallen T’s on History Defined, American History Defined, and anything dealing with History. I wasn’t looking for them but they were in the history websites. There are lots of sites out there that deal with old history and named in different ways.
Hope this might help. I like history and see old cars of different makes show up from time to time. Have fun and good luck.
