Richard, are the oval spoked wheels for the same car? Our Canadian sourced cars had round spokes back in the last of the square wooden felloe wheels. Being 1921, your car may have had Kelsey loose lug wheels.

if for 21, the spokes for all T demountable wheels were round. The gas tank is the same as the under front seat type on center door.

Allen and Mark, Yes this car is a 21 coupe and it does have Kensley demountable wheels. So you are saying that all the demountable wheels had round spokes? I saw in the Encyclopedia that the spokes were changed in mid July of 1921 from ovel to round. It does currently have round spokes. I thought oval spokes would look good but if that is not the way they were then i will have mine re-spoked with round spokes.
The car definitely had a square gas tank in the trunk. The one in there currently is home-made but it is on the original wood mounting brackets. Thanks for the help.

Ricky, the square wooden felloe wheels we generally associate with 1918-9 Ts, so the round spokes were available earlier than 1921.

My copy of the Bruce's book shows 1917-1918 for the change to round spokes. I was letting you know that you don't need to just search for a square tank for coupe "only", except for early center doors, the center door used the same tank. The tank was held in place by a board across the top with long bolts holding it down at each end.

Thank you guys for the help. I found a square tank. I will get the wheels re-spoked with round spokes.
