Photo number 8 shows a 1914 tourer with rounded corner doors but an earlier forward folding windscreen usually associated with 1913 models. Is that a carry over thing seen before?

Allan from down under.

Maybe a carry over thing. Most likely a dealer assembled car and they were using up what they had on hand. Or maybe the owner preferred the fold outward windshield and had it put on.

Carryover of old stock from factory is more than likely. Sure looks like a grumpy family, as the 3 in Pic #12...bunch of pickle-pusses!
And as so often...the "cosmetic condition" of these cars is just crazy. Faded filth I call it!

As always thanks Tom for the neat pics.

WHAT IS MARTY FELDMAN DOING BEHIND THE CAR IN THE FIRST PIC??

Is he back there with Frau Blucher? Or perhaps carrying a jar with "Abby Normal's" brain in it?

Model T's WON'T whinny when you call out "Frau Blucher!!", either!

That 1914 T has the 'correct 1914 windshield. Look at the bowleg supports. 1913 supports were straight. The upper half of the windshield is shorter than the bottom portion. What is interesting with this photo is the orientation of the horn. Maybe Original Smith cans head some light on this.

Did everyone see the animal facing out on top of the wrapped tires in Picture 9?

Looks like a raccoon!

Photo eleven is a 1914 style touring with the 1914 style windshield. Photo number eight is a 1914 style touring car with a 1913 style windshield. The big, unanswerable question is whether the windshield is original to the car or a replacement at some point for some unknown reason.
