That looks like an 1909 Model T Ford with accessorie front doors. Great photo.

 

Here's a unique find
Western NY Toll roads!








AS early as 1840, and through 1914, pay to drive on the road.
Many were built by companies incorporated for the sole purpose of building roads.

 

Toll gate keepers were on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days per week, to collect tolls from all traffic. Rates were posted at the
toll gates for vehicles, bicycles, and a per-head charge for livestock being driven to market. Those still in existence at the
turn of the century charged five or ten cents per vehicle.

LGS said: This is an Overland - 1916 I think. There were several models - this might be a 35hp Model 83 which had a 106"wb. There was a bigger 40hp model on a 114"wb.



Jimi: LGS, I'm glad you're on this thread! You're
surely right; Overland offered a LOT of chasses and
bodies! One source says in 1916, they had FOUR series
(75, 83, 84 and 86) on FOUR wheelbases (104, 106, 114
and 125, respectively). Wow. And they offered at least
three different engines, too!

Below is a very rare Overland hearse -- in fact, THE
ONLY ONE built. Sorry I don't have a bigger photo.



1916 Overland hearse photo, Manitoba Antique Auto
Museum, Elkhorn, Manitoba, which claims to have the
largest collection of Overland autos. This one-off hearse
was built on a 125-inch, which would seem to make it a
Series 86 and, so, would have probably had a
Continental 303 L-head six and a three-speed
transmission. However, the museum states that it is a
Series "83-B," and the 83 had a 106-inch wheelbase. I
suppose the hearse might be considered coachbuilt and
not a regular-production model, though.

Oh, the MYSTERIES of old cars! Can we ever have all the answers?

 

Cars and families go together!




​

The NOT-so-perfect day!

​

If it weren't for the hair, hats and car, this looks as though it could
be my own daughters! People still look the same, regardless of time
and setting! ​

Jewett?​

​

 

At least for ME, this is one keen photo! I wish it were bigger. Anybody else
seen a vintage pic of an auto being ferried across a river??? Early 1920s???
