Re: Kewpie leads the way.
Another wonderful group of photos! Thank you Tom R.
I sure like that brass era speedster in number one! Can't see the rear cross member, so not sure if it is 1913 or 1914, most likely a 1914. Headlamps and radiator painted black probably for a more modern appearance. For the era, a very clean looking speedster! Notice the drawer pull used as a hood handle.
Number two, the Watkins trucks always amaze me with how most are so different from so many others.
Number three, a 1915/'16 runabout, with a small pickup box on the back. It is a bit beat, both headlamp lenses and rims are missing. Notice the old turtle deck leaning against the tin shed!
The fellow appears to be wearing a military uniform. Maybe he just came back or is headed "over there"?
Number four is a 1914 series (actually manufactured from July 1913 into April 1915). Horn bulb is mounted onto the steering column. Normal for Canadian production, unusual for USA production unless done after-market.
Number six is another 1915/'16 runabout, and a nice looking one. It may be a few years old as it appears to have a later three light replacement top? Nice rear view mirror though.
Number seven is a dandy! 1912 with updated hood and cowl/windshield kit! It also has updated curved after-market fenders all around, and electric headlamps.
Side aprons might be after-market also to fit the fenders? No bulge at the back end.
Number eight is a nice earlier 1915 touring car, with brass trim on the lamps and an after-market hand Klaxon type horn. I can't tell for sure if it has an electric horn button or not? And the side lamps look like they maybe might be the earlier interim version with larger/flatter oil bowls? But again, not clear enough to tell for sure.
Numbers eleven and twelve are both 1909 or 1910 models. The MIL roadster is pretty messed up. I hope the people were okay.
The touring car looks really nice and fairly new!
Thirteen through sixteen are a great bunch of N, R, S, and SR pre-Ts!
Thirteen is clearly a 1908 S Roadster with the MIL seat and cowl. Fourteen with the after-market windshield, I can't tell which model it is?
Fifteen also has an after-market windshield. Pay attention to the wheels on this car, notice the bolts going all around the wheel's felloes. I can't offhand recall what brand those were, but they were one of the options available on the N/R/S series Fords.
Sixteen I can't tell whether it is an R or an S, I still have trouble with those. But I think the wheels are the larger 30 inch, which should help.
