Hi ESC,

I think all three cars are Ford Model T. Images 2 and 3 are coupes from about 1927. The first one looks like a tourer. Possibly a bit earlier, guess 1923.

Thank you, Peter!
The no 2 car from the right in the first picture is the same car as in pictures no 2 and 3.
I was a little set back by the way to add more than one picture to my post.
I searched the FAQ but could not find an answer.

To Job-Rated
Impressive list...

Thanks again/Esc

Hi ESC,

I tried to copy your images into my reply too and failed. I don't think that
the Mediafire copy link is working correctly. Needs a bit of massaging.

Given that images 2 and 3 are the same as the car second from the right
then I retract my comment about it being an earlier model

I think the car in my last link is the same model.

Yes, Peter. I think you are right. Can the wheels tell something of the year?

I also suspected the mediawire so put I the pictures on Photobucket,
but still can not find out how to add more than one picture.

Now you have solved my problem so it is not an issue for the moment.
But I guess others could benefit of adding the information
"how add more than one picture" to the FAQ and the Manual.

Have a nice day/Esc

Hi ESC,

I'm no expert but if you can add one photo but not subsequent ones then
I suspect it's just that your html syntax is slightly wrong. The Img button
doesn't seem to work well for me either. I find that it automatically adds the
[/img] at the end but it usually puts it on a new line and that doesn't work,
so I add [/img] on the end of each photo line and I end up with a second
superfluous [/img] added by the system.

Your photo links need to look like...
[img]http://photo1.etc[/img]
[img]http://photo2.etc[/img]
[img]http://photo3.etc[/img]

where etc is jpg or whatever format you use.

As to dating from the wheels this may be possible but I don't know what to
look for although there may be some help here..

Admittedly they do say that the wires came in in late 1926 so I guess
your car does pre-date that.

My guess at 1927 was because of the details on the body. I think the earlier coupes have a squarer less sweeping tail..

and note the different style of waist line moulding in this 1926 car...

Hello again Peter.
Finally I managed to add all pictures.
It was just for testing.
