Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
If anyone has pictures they'd like to post but might not have the hang of it, send me a PM (private message) and I'll either post them for you, or assist if you want to post them yourself.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I posted some of the family shoebox car photos at the group site, but they did not go into a separate thread. Oops!
Attached is Dad and his buddy on the "T", September 1927

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Here's one from my collection of old car photos. I was told it's a 1916 Model "T." Picture was supposedly taken near Baltimore, MD.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
No for nothing but if you post the pics on the social group then why here? And if you post them here then why there?

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
But this one's hard to beat for period feeling. I love it when "A's" provide the backdrop. (West Memphis, Arkansas, 1935.)

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Interesting question....perhaps as a teaser to get you to the social group? I have to admit these old photographs are enjoyable to see. JMHO.

I'll post them in the appropriate forums (I'll try & get 'em right ) and hope others will too. I will continue to post interesting stories & videos on the social site and if I or anyone else wants to post crossover stuff on the social site (multiple years that might not fit in just one forum) that would work too. Thanks for the input - there's some great photos out there, courtesy of a lot of contributors. ron |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
If you click on the thumbnails, they will enlarge. To post them large size like I do you'll have to download them on a website that hosts pics like photobucket or picasa.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
One thing I love about the old pictures is that you get to see what people did to their cars back then. Posts #48 and #57 are great examples. The balloon tires are great-I am assuming they are tractor tires and they painted them white!
The model a that is in the fore ground has some great brakes! Those are defenitaly not Ford brake drums! Mike

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Anybody recognise the shiny black coupe parked in front of the Duesenberry music shop?
It looks like a Ford but the bonnet is toooo long and it has some sort of artillery wheels {I think}. It has doors instead of louvres on the bonnet. I try and ID all the cars in the pics. The Fords are easy but some cars are difficult...... Manuel in Oz |

A picture from long ago, in the area close to where I grew up - southern lower Michigan. The car is probably long gone but the building is still there:

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Tough call, but my money's on grandma and grandpa, with dad snapping the picture while mom's in the station dickering for candy, tobacco, tubes and Cokes. Far cry from "Cracker Barrel" on the Interstate, eh? We'll never know, but we can acknowledge tough times when we see 'em.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I study a lot of 1930's images of the "common man." Looking into the eyes of the young woman and the three young girls in the second and third images of my post 114, I can only hope that their "A's" carried them safely to their new lives, and that they prospered.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Yep. All those folks could say "at least we're not in a Chevy." Seriously, though, I suspect that those little "A's" (faded paint, worn pinstripes, mismatched tires, shot upholstery and all) got their owners through more times than not.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
"HOLLAND FOR SENATOR" is in good company. FDR owned and/or drove a number of "A's," as did Averell Harriman and David and Nelson Rockeller. (Actually, the Rockefellers owned the same Deluxe Phaeton... I lack that image, but here are the others.)

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I like this image because my Dad was a police officer in the early 30's.
What are they doing with that coupe top? Whatever it is, it's taken a while; it looks like grass has grown up behind the wheels since the "A" was parked. Typical Model "A" project |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Here's one for all who complain about legroom in their "A's" How much seat adjustment is there in a Sport Coupe?
In a similar vein, Italian hreavyweight boxer Primo Carnera a/k/a "The Ambling Alp" a/k/a in the sporting press "the giant Italian pugilist" drove an "A." I have an image of him and his car somewhere; I'll post as soon as I can find it. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
"Short" story, indeed. Thanks, Vince. That's fascinating.
I managed to find my other "giant" image. I may be wrong, but I suspect that it's from Ford's "Dealer and Service Field" publication. Last edited by John Butts in CT; 02-01-2011 at 09:51 AM. Reason: Spelling |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I've oftened wondered why all the A's seemed so worn out and dirty even when near new. While looking at all these great pictures it dawned on me, it was the roads. I used to live in Mexico up to a few years ago and even new vehicles looked old and worn out because of the bad roads and even more because of how dirty the roads are. I used to carry water with me to wash my headlights off so I could see.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Thanks but much of the credit for many of the great old photos should also go to some of the others who actually may have posted them on other websites. I attempted to sort them and post within each group here on FB.
Thanks to T-Head and twin6, who have posted many, many great photos and some stories, along with many other members either here on the FB or over on the HAMB. Based on what I've seen, their photo archives are awesome! Thanks again to all who have contributed to this and other old car sites for sharing these historical archives for all to enjoy! |

NEGATIVE FOLKS ATTN,
I'm amazed at all these GREAT PICS!! Thanks everyone who posted. Why do some folks get so critical of Model A altering or accessorizing or modifying?? It's THE AMERICAN WAY. Folks have always been doing it!! Just be proud they chose a Model A to do it to. Bill Williamson

My dad liked to "tweak" his cars and I think the rear bow on the top may have been shortened. Picture two is of one of those other cars (1928???). The third is of my grandfathers center door T. the note on the back says "picnic - 1923. Jack went of the road and ruined the pies". My grandfather took a drink now and then. Norm |

Picture one, My brother, aunt, cousin and I in the beach car. The floor boards were missing and you could watch the road pass underfoot. It was four blocks to the beach and we had to carry water for the radiator to make it. Picture two. Dad and his '32. Are those wheels stock?? Picture three. Grandad showing the flood of the Nahalem river, Mist, Oregon. Norm

These photos were taken in 1931. Looks like these guys were pushing the limits.

1938 Douglas GA. I'm thinking that's a '28 A, but not sure. Can anyone identify it?

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
This popped up on H.A.M.B. and I like it because I have never seen it before and it also shows that era police cars weren't painted up like saddle shoes in a three ring circus.
Picture is identified as being 1932 Louisville KY. Interesting is that the first four cars are S/W fordors, the second row appears to be Coupes and the rest of the cars seem to be a mix of different body styles. -Tim edited to add: The building in the background looked familiar to me for some reason so I went back and dug through my old issues of the Model A News and sure enough, on the back cover of the September/October 2001 issue is a picture of the same District Station and four '28 Roadsters out front.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I found these two pics last night through the Kansas historical society archives...
They were dated December 13th 1927 Also this one showing the 20,000,000 Ford. Note the movie camera in the Deluxe Phaeton and the Blind Back s/w right behind it. -Tim |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I hunt for pictures on the internet all the time and I've gathered thousands of images featuring Model A's and AA's and that sort of stuff.
Sometimes I get lucky and the vehicle is the subject of the picture, prominently featured front and center to the camera. Someone's new pride and joy so important of a moment that it had to be captured forever. But most times our A's are just another part of the scenery, the background of more important or impressive moments in time. It becomes a sort of child's hidden picture search when looking at broader topic images. So, that being said, here are a number of images I like that have A's in them by coincidence. See if you can find the A's. Ester Eddie over on the HAMB had posted these last two from a pack of photographs he saved from being thrown away. -Tim |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
WTSHNN, those are great pics of the KC dealership!
I really don't know that much but, that tall cab fordor/townsedan might be a coach built Taxi. Not to mention the uniform. lol All its doors are long and they have 3 hinges and I’ve read where that was one of the differences of the taxi body. However that might just be relevant to the Ford (Briggs/Murray) body's..... All the standard Ford Taxi's I've seen didn't have such high windows or long doors.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Notice; this car doesn't have whitewalls...but the guy in the picture does!
Nice standard coupe... A Sport Coupe in the snow... Show this one to your wife; she'll think its adorable. Out of thousands of images of Model A's that I have found this is the ONLY one I have ever found with a stone guard. '29 Phaeton More non-car whitewalls in front of a Tudor A proud female service member in front of a coupe I would welcome anyone recreating this image on their Model A to post it here. Anybody care to comment whether or not this is a Model A based speedster? Tudor in Traffic Another Tudor Kind of what it is all about -Tim |

Scroll up to #228, is that a 60C Steel Back? If so there is something unique about the visor. Bob

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Could have used that snowmobile picture in #249 for my Model A snowmobile track puzzle on Ahooga a few weeks ago.
I wonder where that town in #251 is? That sure is a wide street, and we could use that glass and top shop these days. |

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
This is a great shot of the 1931 Standard Police Patrol flanked by a Tudor and Phaeton. Murray built 118 Standard Police Patrol bodies for Ford and I've managed to locate images of about 30 of them from back in the day. This one is new to me though, thanks! Do you have any more info on it? Google Image search didn't turn anything up.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
#257 notice that every car is backed into it's parking spot. I haven't seen any town where that is the rule. In fact in the high school parking lot back-in parking wasn't allowed.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
When more small towns like Keene NH had center Street Parking, I am told that they used to have an ordinance prohibiting "backing onto a public way". due to the fact that Center Street Parking and Side Street Parking would have cars blocking traffic flow as the simultaneously tried to back out of slots. Thus mandating Parallel or "Back in" parking. a similar rule could have applied to the NSW photo.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me out. I had posted this pic over in the Model A forum and a bunch of people looked at it but no one replied. I am trying to figure out the year of this car, which I believe is an A but not totally sure, my grandfather owned it and is in the pic and I am looking for a new project and would love to do a car like he had. The front bumper is what blows my mind, I cannot find one like it anywhere on the web.Thanks

"Airwheels at P.J. Walker, Southern California, 1932" These are some interesting pictures. Rare Woodlite headlights and non-matching aftermarket cowl lamps. These showcase some bumper and trunk treatments on a '28 leatherback fordor. -Tim

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Why is the license plate all flat black, and a few pictures up the front bumper looks flat, rather than a light curve from side to side?

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
In the rear view it looks like the plate is in DEEP shadow from the trunk. The last digit is even obscured. I've always understood that 1928 California plates were a deep royal blue with orange letters, so the rear plate looks fine to me. As for the front view, I'm puzzled. Any reason that the front and rear plates might have been different colors?

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
I love old pictures! These are from the town I grew up in. The event was a summertime firemans carnival and parade. The hotel was owned by my grandparents. My father was born there. I spent many hours sitting on the front steps of the general store.

They aren't mine, Tom, I'm sorry to say. Just a neat spot I found on a tour last summer.

Re: Old Ford Pictures - social group
Love the UPS Package Truck. Trivia question: Who knows the official color of that UPS package truck, and why was that color chosen?

Something about the headlights on the '30 Cabriolet don't look right to me?
