OK. What year is the cream coloured car in photo 7?

Hey there Allan!
I am fairly sure it is a late 1912 "slab-side" touring car. One of the final series of 1912 touring cars with no outside door handles on the rear doors.
Unusual to see cars in the USA painted white or very light colors in those days. I find myself wondering if the photo got flipped at some point and it is in your part of the world?
Or, maybe the fellow just had some paint left over after painting the house?

Photo number three, under all those guys, appears to be a 1915/'16 touring car, but with a non standard windshield. After-market? Later Canadian? The sidelamps and I think I can see a small bit of the cowling seem to confirm it as a 1915/'16, and not an earlier touring with the after-market cowl cap and windshield update. However, almost anything is possible?

Number six has another oddity. A 1913 touring car with a 1915/'16 rear fender. I wonder if both rear fenders were changed, or just the one?

The muddy street picture may have been taken in Breckenridge, Texas around 1920. I later years, both a Place Barber Shop and a Busy Bee Cafe were long-time downtown businesses.

Then those doors (#7) must be 1 year only before the ‘13 squared bottom doors ? Wonder what that thingy is under the right front cowl lamp ? Siren ? And in photo #3, the ‘15 with unusual windshield - what small two adult men sitting on the hood !! I wouldn’t think it’d take that weight :shock:

That light grey '12 touring sounds similar to this car, seen on Michigan Avenue in mid 1914. The "siren" on the passenger side is probably a magneto or battery powered horn.

The '15-'16 rear fender on the '13 above it is pretty standard, an easy way to update your car and done in period. Lots of photos of cars so equipped. Most of them have since been "restored" away . .

Just the other day I received these photo's of a similar T showing it unassembled after being painted Grey and the finished car. As noted by Allan and Wayne common in Australia for the Model T's to be painted Grey.
