The Ford Model T (known as the Tin Lizzie) was an automobile produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1907 as the historic year that the automobile came into popular usage. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that "put America on wheels"; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting. The first production Model T was built on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan.
The Ford Model T was named the world's most influential car of the twentieth century in an international poll.
Looks like he is grinning from ear to ear. He was always a Desert Rat so I would guess this is somewhere on the Mojave.
My family and some of our friends enjoyed an afternoon with this fine gentleman on his ranch. He put this Model T together using the chassis of a 1923 model and the body of a 1926 model. It runs well.
Ford Model T Snowmobile from the Volo Auto Museum collection. A company, creatively named "The Snowmobile Company, INC" of West Ossipee, New Hampshire made these conversions from 1922 through 1929 when the company closed down, the factory burned down shortly thereafter.

during ww2 farmers couldn't buy trucks or tractors so they built their own using old cars or trucks and whatever parts they could get many used truck rearends and duel transmissions
the beauty is their are no 2 exactly alike
most were built from ford model A's or T's but i have seen somechevy and dodge's also
sears sold a kit for conversion and you had to adapt it to your vehicle
The late Emmett Dodson in his 1913 Model T, taken in the late '80s. His dad bought this car new in Attica IN in 1913. It is now 100 years old and up on blocks in Emmett's son Bob's garage, having been in the family for 3 generations, always in Veedersburg. Emmett was the local TV repairman in Veedersburg, making "house calls" all over town. He made many trips to our house to work on our old Hoffman TV.
If you know anything about this car, it's specs, it's history, please post a comment.

I got to the grounds early (about 6am) and watched the oval fill from nothing. 1800 cars were expected for the biggest event of this type in the world.
From the website
"The sun will not yet have risen over the Adelaide Hills when the very first vehicles start arriving at Adelaide Shores. It may only be 6am but the excitement will already be palpable as these marvellous veteran, vintage and early classic vehicles ready themselves for the biennial Bay to Birdwood Run.
Breakfast With The Cars has become a tradition and this is the spectators' opportunity to mix 'n mingle with entrants and their vehicles. Enjoy a range of breakfasts provided by local service organisations washed down with jazz and other vintage entertainment, line the start ahead of the flag off by the one and only Glen Dix at 8:30 am and be a part of this icon event. It takes approximately 1.5 hours for all entrant vehicles to depart on the route to Birdwood - give them a send off they won't forget!
Vehicles head down West Beach Road after the official Start turning right into Tapleys Hill Road then left into Anzac Highway. Their journey through metropolitan Adelaide en route to the Finish at the National Motor Museum in Birdwood enables the spectators who line the 72km route each year to see Australia's greatest motoring show on wheels pass right in front of them - 2 hours of motoring history!"
The cars need to meet strict guidelines and the drivers and passangers are encouraged to dress in period clothes.
"Only those motor vehicles built and at ready for sale stage on or before 31 December 1955 are eligible to take part.
The onus of proof of date of build is the responsibility of the entrant and if required by the Committee must be substantiated and be supported by a Statutory Declaration. In the event of false information being supplied all entry monies will be forfeited.
All motor vehicles must be substantially to manufacturers' specifications, roadworthy and of acceptable standard of quality in the opinion of the Committee."
I enjoyed the ride. We passed many broken down cars whilst gliding along in my fathers Jowett Javelin.
We ended up in the fields behind the Birdwood Mill. We looked through the muesum and also the best dressed cars in the Concours d'Elegance. We listened to period music and poked about amongst the cars.
