Wow, they look like boxes of complete cars/bodies broken down for shipment. Wouldn't you love to find one set of those today?

I see stevedores (stock handlers) exercised the same loving care for your precious cargo back then as they do today. Two of the big containers are upside-down and one has the side smashed in. Nice 'T' era photo.

CAR-GO!

Floorboards? maybe?

There are photos somewere that show how the T's were packed in those crates. Wheels were removed to allow the axles to be clamped to the base. They shipped Harley Davidsons this way too. Wonder of Ford had a return deposit on the boxes? Bob
