Jennifer Plesman Jackson 6 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) This is a pic of my dad (born in 1912) again but this may be one of the oldest pics I have of him.. Maybe the car will help date this pic.. Again, no idea where he was but probably in the Netherlands... Update #1: From the wonderful comments below, this is probably a 1920 Model T Ford exported to the Europe/the Netherlands and made in Canada! There is a windshield difference from the American made models. It was also noted below that since it has a driver's side door, it is Canadian made as opposed to from the US. My humble thanks to everyone! I wish I had been smart enough to ask questions of my wonderful dad while he was alive. Edited April 14 by Jennifer Plesman Jackson Added update #1 that this Model T is a Canada export. (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
keiser31 5,276 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Model T Ford. Not sure of the year. Maybe around a 1919? A Model T guy will narrow it down to the year. Edited April 13 by keiser31 (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
oldford 148 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) No side lights, so must be electric start, 21 or later. The windshield is NOT Ford.... Frank Edited April 13 by oldford (see edit history) 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jennifer Plesman Jackson 6 Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Hi Frank ... Thank you.. So, if the windshield is NOT Ford, are you saying you don't think this is a Ford Model T? Link to post Share on other sites
dustycrusty 176 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Its definitely a "T" Ford, the windshield may be aftermarket, or if it is in the Netherlands it could have been a locally supplied unit to whatever European factory (Belgium?) that it was built at. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
oldford 148 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Definitely a Model T Ford, maybe aftermarket windshield, or they may have just put on one that fit in a pinch. Who's to say... Frank 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gunsmoke 678 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Probably easier to date photo by gauging your Dad's age in the picture, looks about 18 to me suggesting this is circa 1930, in a 1920 Ford T, and your "Dad out for his first drive", or at least that should be your caption. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
mickthecat 21 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Looks like a "Made in Canada" Ford, since it has a driver's side door. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Wetherbee 498 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 I think Mike nailed it, Canadian car which might explain the windshield difference. There’s a lot of little differences in the Canadian cars that few people in the states would know about, the most common is those Robertson screws with the square driver. Made for export out of Canada could be a whole other story as well. Great pictures of your dad and his cars, thanks for sharing them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
