Erndog Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Anybody know what my Great Grandparent's car was? Looks like a T, but seems a little big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erndog Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Good call, but actually, I think it looks more like a 1908, which is about right for when this photo was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Here is a 1910, very similar but as with so many other things the devil is in the details. Especially note the 2 piece dashboard ( firewall under the windshield) that continued thru 1911, then changed to one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1912Staver Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Layden has it right. Note the front doors {first appearance 1912}, and the fact you can still see where the front floorboards are on the cowl in front of the door. For 1913 Ford cleaned up the body pressings and made the side of the cowl smooth. So definately 1912. Hope this helps, Greg in Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 The rear fender in the original pic is round which also differs from the '10 pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
