My ancestors' cars

Hello everyone - first post. My main interest is genealogy, but if I know what kind of car my ancestors had then I know roughly when the photo was taken. Here's the earliest one I have. Thanks!

The one below is from the 1930s I think

Upper is a 1915-6 Model T Ford roadster with an aftermarket pickup bed substituted for the rear "turtle" deck. It is either a Canadian car or has an accessory left front door added. American production had a dummy door moulding on the left side but Canadian cars have doors on both sides as some were right hand drive ( this one seems to be LHD).

Thanks you two. It's quite likely that the older pic is a Canadian car. These were my great uncle's photos and he was born in Ontario.

He used to tell me when I was a kid that he liked buying Buicks and he claimed that his Buick could go as fast as the previous year's Indy 500 cars.
