The sizes and profile of the one you show look about the same as my Dodge rim. The DB Master Parts list was not helpful without knowing the car serial number or year to answer the year range that the latches I showed would work on. The latches I showed, work on my 1920, when they changed or year range, sorry don't know. The lens I have are ribbed with the DB on them and fit my rims.

What are those cars? I have only seen Dodges by years not any model number. The rims look Dodge, here are a couple of photos of the retaining clips in my 1920.

Could be Ford Model AA truck and maybe newer than that.

Charlie Chan's No 1 son drove the same truck in one of the movies.

The M series carburetors were pretty basic, the O's would have had some type of enricher valve but no pump. Other end of throttle cam operated rocker arm Stromberg OD-1:

Could the accelerator pump be the enricher valve, and would that be the OD-1? Stromberg made one for the Ford Model T, the OF that is pretty much the same. I have been going through a Stromberg OD-1 but am missing the elbow the choke fits into and still have one plug to get out so all the passages can be cleaned.

Re Ted; Not sure why he doesn't FB He has a couple of post there showing the RR lubricating parts he has been working on.

Most of them are going to have who made it someplace on it. Might what to give it a good look over and post that information if you can find it.

Unless you can find and older reproduction or original of the brass mirror shown, I would stay away from the current reproductions. They look nice, but vibrate too badly, just don't have enough heft to them, too lite. Mirrors on the passenger side is a fairly recent thing. Most cars back then would have only had one on the drivers side and maybe a "Cop Spotter" on the windshield center. With so many different mirrors made over the years, start as suggested and post a photo or two of what you currently have. You still will more than likely will need to spend some time searching the internet, swap meets etc to find a mate. The drivers side view in below post is not clear enough to make out what is currently on the car and might be homemade (?). If it is homemade, you might just want to start over fresh with matching mirror setups.

Was not yelling. When I cut and pasted the title, the font defaulted to same size when I typed the rest of my post. Sorry if you think I was yelling at you, I was not, nor did I direct my comment to any one person.

"What automotive books are you fascinated by currently?" Maybe the title should be: What automotive books would you recommend reading.

Up to at least 1976/77 the Desoto brand name was still on the step plate of Dodge pickups.

Besides all the reading I do here and on other car sites, the only "book" reading is the Dodge Brothers Master parts list and the DB Mechanics' Instruction Manual and maybe one of the Model T Ford repair books.

You might try posting down in the Dodge Brothers section. The first one, made by Hall, should be the earlier one. Except for the car name stamped on top, the top one was also sold by Ford in 1926/27 as an upgrade to add brake light for those years but with Ford stamped on it.

That might wash for the second one but why the first. Notice it says per contract, so maybe they were buying for a fleet or had other business dealings with the seller. Or who knows!

Along with using the sync tool was the sparkplug with the see-through body so you could see the burn. Least that's how I did my British cars back in the day.

Ford lamps look similar, but the bonnet would be stamped with brand name and Ford, could be Victor or Corcoran and think they are newer by few years then 1907, maybe mid teens. Those companies also made the same lamps but without Ford stamped on the bonnet that were sold to other companies and as generic replacements. Except for weight, did you try sticking a magnet to the body? The bonnet and rim would still be brass with steel body.

1915 or 1916 Ford Model T roadster with gas headlights installed. Would have been come with factory installed electric headlights. The electric lights were still kinda iffy, so people did have the old-style gas ones installed. The other Model T in the picture would be a late 1916 up (1917 model), so picture would be after the date it is indicated to be.

No, sorry don't know anyone that is either.

Fantastic!

Often you would get the rim and carrier for the spare tire, but the tire and tube were extra. Even with Ford Model A's spare tire and tube were extra but you at least did get the spare wheel as part of the base price.

"The problem is acquiring the special make and model specific mounting hardware and brackets." I was going to say about the same thing. If you look at early automotive supply catalogs, the bumpers were pretty much the same for each listing there in, but the mounting hardware/arms was specific to each model or make of car being fitted to. Without the hardware/arms the bumpers are pretty much bent spring steel wall hangers.

The wood is full of wood borer holes, so pretty well done for. Looks to be standard Model T wheel with these hubs added (could be 30X3 or 30X3.5?), if they are, better rims, felleos and spokes could be found without all the cutting and work. One of the Model T books I have shows how to make and install this type of setup.

Except for a few fiber crush seals, there isn't anything in an OE-1 that ethanol would attack.

One bit if information that seems to be missing that a potential buyer might need to know, does the car have a title or other non-bill of sale paperwork in your name that matches the car numbers that would allow it to be transferred to new owner?
