Nice! Probably a Canadian built '14. Being Canadian adds uncertainty to some details and when they were used. While it is clearly a '14 style body based upon the door shapes, the windshield folds forward as the '13s did. Even in the USA, the crossover for the windshield was murky at best. Original era photos have been see with '14 style windshields on '13 style bodies (rarely, however, a few), and numerous photos have been seen showing '13 style windshields on the '14 style bodies. The confusion is partly due to Ford pushing the introduction of the '14 style touring car body because of the weakness in the sills under the rear doors. "14 style touring car bodies were being installed at the factories in July '13, still '13 model year, while remaining '13 style bodies also continued being installed for at least two more months. During that time, it was a simple thing for the windshield style to be crossed on the bodies.
The car looks wonderful with the wire wheels, and after-market fenders (front and rear). Being right hand drive (the horn says so loud and clear!) just adds to the interesting features of this fine Ford T!

Thank you Tom R!
