Jim Mooney Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I found this picture of my Dad's first car, and I searched the net as best I could. Now, my son found this website:http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/m/morton_brett/morton_brett.htmso I think it's a Ford Model T, with a Morton & Brett aftermarket body. Anyhow, I just thought I'd look for a "2nd opinion" from the professionals on AACA. Also, attach is his direver's license, 1921. Pretty cool, huh! Comments, anybody? Thanks, all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Definitely a Model T Ford. Love the roll-down side curtains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintman Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Hi,We at the Surrey Vintage Vehicle Society (United Kingdom) have an active Help Page on our website where the general public can get free assistance with identification of old cars from old photos. Your photo is most interesting I would very much like to put it on our website as an aid to people researching unusual cars. If that is OK, there is no need to reply as I will assume your agreement unless I hear to the contrary.Kind RegardsVintman (UK)www.svvs.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manuel Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The humps underneath are in the right places for a T.The running boards and guards are a give away for me. And it has transverse springs.Manuel in Oz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlLaFong Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 for the less initiated, - but trying very hard, what are the pointers to the T on this photo?Headlights, fenders, aprons, runningboards, steering wheel, road wheels, flywheel sump, for a few.I don't see that body in Morton & Brett's catalog. It seems too angular for a M&B. It is still a very cool car. It was originally built in November 1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1937hd45 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Not a Morton & Brett body, looks a bit closer to a PACO. There was one on display at Hershey two years ago. Here is a website with some info. http://www.coachbuilt.com/bui/p/paco/paco.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
