From our family albums and taken sometime around 1915. This is quite likely at Langford, to the west of the City of Victoria, B.C., Canada where family members owned land and a cabin or small farmstead.
The car is a Ford Model-T tourer.

Ontario 1915 is clearly readable on the licence plate. This was most likely the photographers car!
The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, T‑Model Ford, Model T, T, Leaping Lena, or flivver) is an automobile that was produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to the common middle-class American; some of this was because of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.

Commencing the display line up of Fire Engines in the commercial wing of the museum, is this light fire support vehicle built on a Model T chassis. With its 'C' prefix engine number, this places that unit as having come from the Canadian production line most probably slightly earlier than the given date for the vehicle.
The Model T is well set up for its commercial purpose, being equipped with water storage tank, axes, ladders hose reals and nozzles and naturally to forewarn of your arrival there is a scuttle mounted bell! Close examination of the 'T' suggests that it has been in this form for some considerable time as its age is consistent throughout.
Something that is sure to raise a smile from the young, or young at heart wherever it goes, you're never too old to appreciate the fun side of fire-fighting.

Commercial vehicles are, by their nature, designed so that form follows function. Built to do a job and do it well, it was not often that these work horses ended up looking better than the purebred stallions. The famous C-Cab was introduced in 1911 as part of Ford's push into the commercial vehicle market. With it's tall, gently arched roof and doorless design, the operator could easily get into and out of the vehicle swiftly to accomplish deliveries, pickups, and whatever else needed doing. For privacy and security, an enclosed Delivery version was offered with a box mounted flush against the cab. The fact it was beautiful was a fortunate side-effect of the whole package.
This C-Cab Delivery shows well, likely the subject of an older restoration. Fitted with a set of acetylene headlights and the accompanying running board mounted tank, an additional set of coachlights are hung just after of the cabin. While the body style is definitively 1911-1912, the engine appears to have come from a later 1923 example. The truck appears to have come from the USA into the Hartogh Collection in the winter of 1995.
As an early, Brass-Era T, these cars really pop when their extensive brass trim and radiator surround are polished to a mirror finish. Add some personal signage on the delivery box and it is truly something not to be missed!
