Larry Schramm Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The caption says it was a Model T and the picture was taken in 1912. So I would guess a '11 or '12 T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Schramm Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Don't disagree that it is not a T, but just reading the caption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuclipson Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 AM AWARE THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A "T", JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT SOME OTHER PROBILITY SO AS CAN MAKE AN ATEMPT TO CORRECT SOME INCORRECT INFO THAT IS BEING PASSED ALONG TO VISITORS AT A HISTORIC SITE IN FLORIDA.

keiser31 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 This 1910 Overland looks about the same as the car in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Unfortunately historical misinformation is quite common at visitor centres and other non-museums, particularly when it involves cars. This one is definitely not a Ford T and certainly looks as if it is an Overland. The problem is that there were many similar looking cars at that time, although Overland was one of the biggest sellers in that era. I think number 2 or 3 after Ford and vying with Studebaker/EMF.

Dandy Dave Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Yes, there are those who walk among us that think that every old car is a T Model Ford because that is what they learned in Grade School History. I hate to tell you how many have called my 15 Buick, "one of them T Model Fords." I swear they can't read! Dandy Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
