Re: This looks fun.
The guy in the next to last photo is or was working on his T. The lid on the tool box is opened up. I’m wondering if he is trying to pick up the car or? Could it be stuck next to the water? Hard to tell.

Re: This looks fun.
Yeah John, I was looking at that photo kinda close and it looks like he's got some lumber jammed under the front tire I think he might have gotten into some soft soil or sand and is trying to lift er out. And the second pic I hope that gun wasn't loaded that lady in the back could end up bald or worse. Jim

Re: This looks fun.
The last photo is really neat! A 1912 torpedo roadster without its factory gasoline tank or a rear tool box. I wonder if they put a standard gasoline tank under the seat? I have seen other 1912 torpedo roadsters with pickup boxes on them, and wondered where the gasoline went?
The other interesting detail is that the car appears to have black era front fenders, or maybe after-marker curved fenders (Peerless sheet metal products among others made nice ones). Look closely and you can see the side apron extensions between the curve of the fender and the side apron's shorter straight cut. I have seen a few of those before with after-market fenders.

The car in the last photo appears to have a Dean Yoder-style Gatorade radiator cap.

Re: This looks fun.
Questions about pictures #2 and #5: Is #5 a 1909? Looks like it has the winged script on the radiator.
And, #2: what year is the car? Looks like it has the two piece firewall, which I thought used a Rands windshield with the two halves equal size. This car has a bigger bottom half than the top. It also looks like he has the barrel of his shotgun pointed towards what might be his mother-in-law in the back seat! (Unloaded, of course)
Just curious.

Re: This looks fun.

Really like #2, gives real meaning to "riding shotgun"

Re: This looks fun.
I really, really like when the dogs show up in these photos! On the porch in #2, and that huge bully on the folded roof are super cute!
I think the stuck touring car just crossed the river and didn’t make it up the soft sandy bank. He’s lifting the rear wheel and making a face that suggests the photographers help pushing would be a better use of time than snap shots. The other side has a clear spot that looks like the crossing point. Has happened to me out wheeling in the middle of nowhere too, I feel for the guy!

Re: This looks fun.
In the first photo, notice how short the chassis is. They must have shortened the driveshaft.
