Alright, you talked me into it.....I get started on the clone

On the contrary, this T does sit lower than stock. Bending the axle in this manner would rotate and angle the spring perches downward, lowering the car a small amount (1", maybe 2") and the addition of the 18" or 19" wheels and the lowered "reverse eye" leaf springs help lower the car even more from stock. Not super low, but low enough to give it a good stance.

1936: Cord. People attending the 1936 Chicago Auto Show were among the first to view the sensational front-wheel drive Cord 810. Manufactured by the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg Corp., the sleek Cord featured hidden headlights, pontoon fenders, and wraparound 'coffin-nose' grille.

 

1936: Cadillac. A crowd milling through the Cadillac and LaSalle exhibit during the 1936 auto show, paused to pose for the camera. The location is the International Amphitheatre, the home for the annual show from 1936 through 1960 and again from 1967-70.

 

1940: Plymouth. General Sales Manager L.D. Cosart watched operation of a 1940 Plymouth's power top with Miss Lithuania, (Anne Davis) and Lucille O'Connell (seated), who were among the costumed attendants with the 'Dame Fashion' stage spectacle.

 

1941: Pontiac. On stage during the 'Non-Stop America' musical revue was the 1941 Pontiac 4-door sedan. Held in the International Amphitheatre, the '41 auto show was the last before the industry converted to national defense. Chicago's next show was in 1950, the first in the U. S. after WW II.

 

1941: Plymouth Squad Car. Cook County Sheriff deputies G.S. Oehmen and Charles Glimm demonstrated their new Plymouth squad car to the Raush sisters, Elaine and Loretta, at the 1941 Chicago show. The sisters danced in the Non-Stop America spectacle that dramatized the history of the automobile.

 

The ladies like the stock T, and the guys... well, they like to tinker. And everyone looks content.

 

I believe this is a Tourist.

 

This is a photo of my Dad,Lou Lapham and his twin brother Jim taken in the late teens in Dearborn,Michigan in their father,S.D. Lapham's driveway on Morley Ave.No idea who's car or what make.

T - I think grandpa looks better this way, what do you think?

 

I totally agree, way better! I forgot the flip that one and the other one with the Dodge in it before posting..thanks for catching that T6

 

Looks like a Studebaker Electric.Found in an old album of my aunts sister.

 

Almost forgot this one:

Grandpa in his boyscout days c. 1913-1915

 

From the same album as the Studebaker.This is probably from around Lansing Michigan as they lived in the Lansing area.A couple of Model Ts,Oldsmobile,K Model Ford i think.

Tiger in the tank, hell. More like Gatorade!

Relax folks, this is just a typical tail-gator, the way they
did things before WWII. I do hope they were careful not
to get a piece of -- er, uh -- gator hind end when they
slammed the lid!

(Where's the drum rim shot? Where's MART when I need
him? All joking aside, that is NO small alligator!!! Anybody
wanna venture a WAG at how long?)
