Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Will, those pictures are priceless. They remind me a lot of my Grandpa, Dad and several other family members. Most of them worked in the mines for years. And at one time or another they were truck drivers. My Grandpa and Dad always talked about the old 15 ton "Donkey's". I believe they were either Macks or Euclids and those 2 talked about them like they were people. Someday I'll get into a BS mood and tell you about #710. The old oil shovel in the background and the water wagon in the front of the photo are neat too. At any rate I'm going to steal a copy of this photo and post it on my facebook family page. This one is just plain great.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I see. Thanks Roger. Leave it up to another Minnesota T owner to present us with something interesting. I really didn't mind stealing it from Bill when I thought he'd posted it. And now that I've stolen a copy I hope you don't mind if I show it to my family on our facebook page. And welcome aboard. It's about time you posted. If that your touring in the avatar I'm pretty darn envious.

If anyone wants a bigger version of the main photo, just let me know and I'll E-Mail you a larger file. I've owned the 1914 in my avatar since 1989.

And a few more of an early "T" dealership.

Quote:
What a great story and car ! That "T" is crying for a rub down with GIBBS OIL ! It will enrich the color and hide some of the rusting. You will have to Google it to find out where to order it. It is a little pricey, at about $20.00 for a spray can. You can get an idea of what it will do, by spraying a part of your car with WD-40 and rubbing it in with a rag. The GIBBS OIL will do an even better job and will last much longer. The old original antique motorcycles, that you see, are probably, treated with this oil. MIKE |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
In posting no 209, pic no 7 with the 2 ladies, I think the car is an air cooled Franklin. Manuel in Oz |

By God, I believe that's Randall McCoy's woman.

The photo is originally from West Virginia, so she, more than likely, is a Hatfield. MIKE |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Here is a 1911 photo of the brand new building housing the Nolan Ford Dealership in Grand Meadow, Minnesota. In front of it is a 1911 Torpedo Runabout and an unidentified large luxury car. At first I thought the big car might be a Model K, but the fenders and the rear of the body are not correct. The building still exists, but in a much modified form. The last photo is of a 1911 Torpedo Open Runabout, a rarer version of the Torpedo.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Thought I would share these in this thread. I'm not too savvy with this era of Fords at all, but thought these pics might be enjoyed here. They are of someone who is related to me somehow on my father's side of the family. The backs are stamped Crystal Finish Glendive, Mont. Gate City Drug Store.
Here is a pic of two girls, twins. Now here is another pic of I'm assuming the same two girls, at Class Day 1933. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I do believe this is a Model T. It is from my Dad's collection of truck photo's that are original canvas backed pictures. The Jenss company is still in business celebrating their 100th year in Buffalo.
