Re: Roadside duet.
Your photo posts are some of the best posts on here Mr. Rootlieb.
All these are great, but I especially like that centerdoor with the disc wheels and drum headlamps! Shiny too!

Re: Roadside duet.
I have never seen anything like the "speedster" with the wings and propeller.
For me, part of the charm of groups of photos like presented here is the element of mystery. In most cases we don't know who these folks are, but they, non the less, achieved a degree of immotaliry, in that 100 hundred years after these photos were taken, we are still enjoying their exploits.
I also enjoy the architecture. Seeing these buildings (some of which probably still exist) as they were 100 years ago is a treat.
I really appreciate the effort made to post these photos.

Re: Roadside duet.
Is that radio attached to the door on the 'Radio Car'? How heavy that must have been on that door!

Re: Roadside duet.
The Stimson Hospital (photo #18) in Eaton Rapids, Michigan is still standing, and is said to be haunted 
and is said to soon become a bed and breakfast. The photo Tom posted, as well as at least one other showing a Model T is in the video at this link.

Re: Roadside duet.
Here’s one we saw in Lawrenceburg, Indiana on the MTFCI Tour this past summer, only its wings and “propeller” are of the equine variety.

Re: Roadside duet.
Begging Tom's indulgence, I thought it better to add this photo to his thread than make a separate post. Seems this one met the train - ouch ! -
Interesting the 1917 (or later ?) T is wearing acetylene headlamps. Perhaps the owner found them to be better than electric lamps ?
