Car Questions

[Vic Piano]

A friend of mine, Jim Mason, found some old photos of his dad and he would like someone to ID the cars (year, etc,) in the photos. Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks to be the same car in both picks. Id have to say its a 1920's something Ford model T. It looks very similar to the 1924 model t i attached. I think they were called a touring car. Not sure but pretty sure haha. Hope this helps

columbiA is close. First is most likely '26 but could be a '27 with wood wheels. The older is possibly late '23 but more likely '24 or '25. Both Model Ts

Just some social commentary: The gentleman looks to be is his '30's at least, and the bride appears to be in her teens. This was quite common in that era, at least where I grew up (southern Minnesota). One of my granddads was in his late '20's and the other early '30's when they got married, both to 16 year olds. A guy back then (early 1900's) would get established (buy a farm, own some machinery) and then get married, often to a younger girl. If all went well, after about 30 years a son ttok over the farm and they retired to town. The husband would continue eating as though he were still on a threshing crew and die early of a heart attack or stroke, leaving a widow in her late '40's or early '50's. Saw this a lot as a kid growing up in the 1950's.
