Side O' the Road

[Harold]

While driving into Lapeer from North Branch on Saturday, I found this repair place that specializes in Fords. Here's a few pics...

This '47 is all original with 72,000 miles on the clock (I'll trade him my ex- wife for it ).

That Fairlane looks nice.

Wow! You found Heaven's side yard! My fav would be the Ford Fodor, the second pic down. Anyone know what year and name it is?

Not sure the year of the T but the top one is a 1931 (slant windshield) Model A Town Sedan with sealed beam headlight conversion.

The T Fordor is likely a '26 or '27 when wires became available from Ford for the T.

Those cars all look to be in great shape. I wonder if they all run?

Really nice looking old Fords.

The grass is cut under the cars.

That's a '26-'27 T Fordor Sedan. Unlike the rest of the Model T lineup for those two last years of T production, the Fordor body was a carryover of Ford's first 4-dr sedan first produced in 1924.

Andy, it is a '26-'27, but the giveaways are the hood and radiator shell, and the fenders. FWIW, just as with the VW Beetle, when a new part was introduced for T production, in most all cases with mechanical parts, it was readily adaptable to earlier models.

I have seen '25 and earlier T's with 21" welded steel spoke wheels (and their hubs) bolted directly on earlier models--it actually happened quite a lot.
