I robbed these pics from the Model T Club website. Gives a whole new meaning to "putting the lumber to it".

See what happens when you don't use a red flag.:eek:

Does "BUILT FORD TOUGH" apply here?:confused:

Or, maybe he "COULDN'T SEE THE TREES FOR ALL THE FOREST".
 
I've heard the Fordors have a lot of wood in them.:D:p

Now you know why it's called a "BLINDBACK"........You can't see a thing in back.
 
I didn't realize that those Chevrolet Trucks had that good of brakes.

Wonder if the Model A belongs to the Policeman.

It looks like the truck trailer is missing its right rear wheel and is supported by a stack of lumber.....so it was probably not moving at the time of the accident.

Fordially,

That would wreck your day. Wonder if his mother-in-law was in the back seat telling him how to drive? If she was she's toast now;) Hopefully the driver leaned over REAL fast.
 
Notice that there are no dual wheels being used on the truck.. The tires were way overloaded with those extra large Washington trees.. No wonder they had a tire problem on the log hauler.
 
I see the trailer is sitting on blocks. That No. 2 log sticking out too far which should have caused his air bag to deploy..
