This book by Mr. Clymer is still in print, and can easily be found on the internet, but I am afraid the $2.00 price that I paid some forty years ago has inflated a bit. It's a good reference book, and entertaining, too.
Model T's came in many body styles, or as a bare chassis so you could add a body yourself. The early T's even came in colors other than black.
Many T owners repainted their car to have a prettier ride, and today's restorers are keeping that tradition alive.
These are my favorite T pictures. Above, my mother as a little girl is riding in the back of a T out for a joyride. Note the lady behind the wheel. The horn did not work on this car, so she has a cowbell to clear the road. Below is the T Truck my dad bought and restored (teaching me a lot in the process) to keep me out of trouble as a teenager.
UPDATE! Here is great oldie sung by Billy Murray, posted on YouTube by SilentBacchus.

ReplyDeleteThank You! I enjoy your videos. I usually record the audio, then just paste a photo of the label for the video track. I play my records on a Brunswick with a microphone going to the computer. I use Audacity to record the sound.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the video!
