Model T era parking lot
Here is a photo of a World Series parking lot in the late teens. Must have been a rush to see the game! Supposedly it’s in Boston for the first series game of 1917. Bet they had a hard time leaving!

Re: Model T era parking lot
Makes my head spin. Just finding your car. Think about it. They hadn't yet learned to set up a parking lot for cars.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Re: Model T era parking lot
When I saw this photo it sure made me wonder how this would have happened. At first I was thinking it was a publicity stunt but if it wasn’t it would be a real night mare if some of those cars wouldn’t start.
The two motorcycles in the bottom of the photo could get out fairly easy. Interesting for sure.

Re: Model T era parking lot
At least three 1915-16 Fords, two of them next to the motorcycles. One other brass-era car tucked further back, a large one. Everything else looks like mainstream early nickel.
Two car interurban train across the street. Base ball game?

A few more 1915-16 Fords, one with black fenders and a light painted body. The door moldings are picked out in black, and it has an accessory speedometer.

World series! Other than US teams, I wonder who else played?
Most unusual to see so many tourers with the tops folded.
