That first T may be a Buick or some other oddity. I love the photo. It seems like poetic justice.

Good eye Rich,
I see the front leaf springs after closer observation...drawbacks of a cell phone

I had to take a close look to make sure it wasn't.
It is a most delightful look on how things were approached a hundred and some years ago.
Thanks for posting it

A non-T tows the remnants of a T.

Can anyone identify the wrecker ? BTW, Fender's is still in business and in Newport to this day.

How are they pulling the T model? How is it attached?
Looks like 4 wheels and a wishbone in the T also.

Wait, that may be the front axle with wheels and wishbone attached....

Coming back to the first picture I say it is a Model 10 Buick. The headlights are updated.
Raoul's photo may be a 1917 Oldsmobile. They liked the slanted louvers. I'm not sure about the Wrecker.

OK, maybe a 1914 Oldsmobile Model 45. Good catch Raoul.

Looks to me like the front of the T is in the box of the wrecker. The rear appears to be supported by rope / cable / chain from the booms to the rear axle. Nice photo!

That wrecker body in the second photo looks like an early Holmes setup. Dave
