Ford and the Thomas Flyer
The world famous Thomas Flyer made it to Oakland in March 1908, escorted in by a parade of motorists. At least one Ford was in the mix.

Looks like it might be a model N? Can't quite make out the fender well enough to be sure.

Re: Ford and the Thomas Flyer
It sure looks light enough to be an N, maybe the wheel dimensions are a clue.
From the description of the event, there were two White steamers, a society lady in a yellow touring car and a young lady learning to drive her runabout. Must have been a great sight.
