Guest stendoty Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hello and thanks in advance for any help in this identification.My grandmother has asked me to help her identify the car in the attached picture. The picture is of her mother Nell taken in 1926 in front of the family car. The picture is very dear to my grandmother and she gazes at it every day as she is very sick and bedridden and the picture hangs on the wall in front of her bed.I don't know anything about cars so I thought I would ask for anyone's opinion on what kind of car it is, and if there is any identifying part of the car to tell the year? Thanks again for any advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Model T Ford. I don't know them that well, but I think about a 1924. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) There are a lot of little differences in the Ts, so I may be off a year or two. Here is what is supposed to be a 1924. I believe the headlight bar on the car in question was an added accessory. Edited August 5, 2014 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dictator27 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Not a Model T expert, but this car's doors are hinged at the front. It appears that the first year for front hinged doors was 1923, so it likely isn't earlier than that.Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for any advice!The model T Ford appears to have a cowl "vent" to fill the gas tank which would make a 1926 or '27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Layden B Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Hupps4ever,The 1924 coupe pictured by keiser31 also has a cowl ventilator ( so did ForDor sedans), it is a real ventilator, the gas tank is not in the cowl. Yes 1926-27 cars moved the tank to the cowl and that lid does double duty, vent and filler.The headlamp bar is indeed an accessory on the 1924-25 coupe or Fordor, I cannot tell which.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 The 26 T saw a return to colors other than black. The grille and headlight rims were nickeled, as noted by John K actually in 25 due to pressure from Chevrolet. Further differences were a one piece windshield,curved at the bottom and the visor.
