A time when life was much simpler.
Filling up the Model T at a Gas Station.
 
Wait...isn't the T gas tank under the seat? So how is he filling up with Ma still sitting there? :D

Interesting fender brace above the headlights.

Two common aftermarket accessories. The fill pipe is brought forward from under the seat. Some had a gauge incorporated.

Nice photos!
 
Folks,
Got me thinking.
I have a picture of my Mom on the hood of a Model T. She was born in Ohio in 1922. She looks to be about 3 or 4 years old so it would have been 1926 ish. Of course the car looks old, even the dirt was old back then! I will take a picture of the picture the best I can and post it here. Maybe someone can give me some information on the car? Just another thing that can tie the past into today.
No I dont have a T!
Heck I never expected to own a 32!
Regards,
Chris

Maybe My grandmother? Could this be a American Underslung? My grandfather talked about one sometimes.

Not sure, but if you look close at the car above (instead of at the girls) :) :) I don't think it's a Model T. Hood looks too long (and too many louvers), windshield looks too short and just not Model T'ish to me.
