Jim Cannon Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thank you, Layden!How can you tell that this is a Model R and not a Model S?What are the telltale details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldford Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I think the Model S had splash aprons and the R did not. Otherwise, from the photo, it's hard to see the subtle differences...Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cannon Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks!I was trying to go by the cowl, since the R is a flat piece of wood and the S is more of a curved piece of metal. I agree, this is not a great picture, but I think it is a flat vertical piece of wood... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwight Romberger Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 By the look of that dash mounted spotlight, I am guessing this is someone who had to do alot of driving at night.Doctor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
