Production of this fill-in series until the all-new "First By Far With A Postwar Car" 1947 Champions and Commanders was only from December 1945 to March 1947. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 21 hours ago, MetroPetro said: 1922 or 1923 ford model T center-door sedan. The was the tail end, one of the last several thousand of an even then archaic body style. Mostly everyone else had switched to the more common four-door or typical two door type body before 1920. But Henry Ford held onto the old style a couple more years. And what little detail identifies this one as one of those last two years? Look closely, to your left of the top door hinge, is a little white spot behind the glass. That white spot is a small lever that latches the window in its desired position. The window surrounds have a bunch of little notches that the latch snaps into to hold the window at the desired level. There should be another lever at the back of that window, however apparently lighting or shadows are hiding it from view. The door window is all the way up, however, the front side window is down a bit over halfway. In spite of dirty windows and poor lighting, both the two latches can be seen on this window about four inches up from the bottom of the window frame. The rear side windows for 1922/'23 continued to use the strap and pin method of raising and lowering the window. The "strap and pin" method was used on all six side windows of Ford's center-door sedans from their 1915 model year introduction though 1921. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzcarnerd Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 Pic from a facebook page - captioned 'fit girl with her old car in 1934'. The car looks to be a 1931 Buick Model 86 coupe so not that old in 1934. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) I didn't know where to post this. @Walt G if you want me to delete it let me know and I will. Since we are afforded hindsight, I'm always intrigued how some in the 1920s and 30s imagined how futuristic travel would have looked. May 1923 magazine cover January 1930 cover Seems Leonardo was even invisioning similar travel in the 15th century with his aerial screw.

58L-Y8 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 twin6: You're welcome. I'm amazed myself at times how effective this photo correction software is in retrieving faded images from loss. It's a free shareware downloadable from www.irfanview.com which is easy to use to crop, lighten, brightness, gamma correction, contrast, file size reduction or increase. I recommend it to anyone. Look how it turned up the lighting on the Packard factory turntable. Steve 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Pierce Arrow and IF used the same importer/garage/shop. I have photos inside and outside the building with both brands side by side. Very few IF went to Canada new due to import tax, and they came in disassembled………and were delivered assembled to save about 2/3 of the taxes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 To add a bit to Ed's great comments and information. Most of the IF that came into the port of New York ( New Your City) came in as a running chassis, minus the body but complete with dashboard, firewall , wheels, and sometimes a cowl and rear fenders strapped to the chassis for shipment. Many IF that came into the USA were bodied by Fleetwood in Fleetwood, Pa. who had their factory a few feet away from the local main railroad line. IF in NY City had a very active sales agent and even developed and printed their own sales catalog to distribute! Yes, I have one of those in my collection. One of the fellows who worked in the service department at the New York IF dealership I met when I was in my mid teen years as he lived near me about 12 miles north in the Manorhaven area of Port Washington on long island. I have mentioned this here before. His name was Joe Gaeta and he was a great guy full of recollections about his days at IF . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt G Posted August 1, 2023 Author Share Posted August 1, 2023 MILESTONE - My thanks to all of you who have contributed to this topic on the forums , I see that we have reached over 650,000 views 540 pages and 20,000+ replies. Guess that sends a message that there are a few of us who like b & w ( mostly) pre WWII era period photographs of a wide assortment of vehicles . This is all possible because of AACA and the patience of the monitors who allowed my somewhat off beat historians passion for period material to "get out there" to as many people as possible. You all are contributing - be it a photo, comment or just as a viewer. We are all a bunch of squirrels. Thanks again, hope to see many of you at the Eastern Fall extravaganza known as HERSHEY in October. My very best regards and again sincere thanks, Walt 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 A.J.: It appears to be a larger model Studebaker-Garford of the 1909-'12 period but later fitted with electric headlights. Steve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
