Re: Hump day.
Don't you love the cast iron power pole and street lamps in the first two photos! Then some city official vandalises it with an attached parking sign or some such.

Re: Hump day.
Photo #2 is interesting to me. George Sutton Ford was located in Inglewood, California until the 1960's Any additional information would be helpful.

Re: Hump day.
Photo number five is probably one of the earliest TT trucks you will find a photo of! Non-demountable wheels, square wooden felloe fronts, solid tire rears. I am almost certain it has an over axle wishbone with an added under axle brace, although I cannot see enough details of any of it to actually be certain.
The TT trucks started getting the under axle wishbones before the cars got them because the over axle wishbone was barely adequate for the car, and not nearly adequate for the heavy duty required of the trucks. This truck is likely a 1918, first year of TT production.
Nice custom C-cab flatbed also.

Re: Hump day.
Photo number six appears to be a model S from 1908, but not the S roadster (which today is often called the SR, but that is not historically correct?).
It appears to be a couple years old and has been modified a bit making identification questionable.
Number thirteen is another fine 1915 runabout! The brass on it appears to be blacked out? The car also has an added under axle brace on the front end.
Number nine is a nice 1913 runabout.
Also three nice model T speedsters! I need to find some time to look closer and comment on those later.

Re: Hump day.
I wonder what “free crankcase service” consisted of, as see on the wall in the second picture? I assume just an oil change?

Re: Hump day.
Maybe the free crankcase service was checking for oil leaks and tightening up the bolts where necessary! But T’s didn’t leak a “whole lot” did they.
