Re: Main St.
Wonderful photos! I've always wondered, when you have all those similar looking Ts in one place, how do you remember which one is yours?

Re: Main St.
Thanks for posting. I'm sure most of the viewers on this form look at them and don't comment at times. I wish camera's were a bit more common a few years earlier to catch some of the early brass auto's. Thanks again for your efforts. Pat

Re: Main St.
After my comments the other day concerning automobiles being painted white or other really light colors? I thought I should point out that in this group of era photographs, there are more than seventy automobiles that can be seen well enough to determine whether the car is a dark or light color. Only one of them is a light color. Picture13/17, Lyons Nebraska, parked next to a crowd of people across the street from the Heintz sign. A large touring car.
There are a lot of men NOT wearing coats! So it must have been a really warm day. With all the flags out, likely July 4th.

Re: Main St.
Here's main street on my home town. I live two blocks from where the photo was taken and all the buildings are still there. Don't know what happened to the Model T.

Re: Main St.
Someone once said that was one reason people would paint the wheels on their Model T a color other than black so they could find it easier in a sea of T's

People have always modified their daily drivers to their liking with little concern for the opinions of others. T's >> Gow Jobs, Hot Rods, Rat Rods, Trailer Queens
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.
