Another Model T spotted...



This one is a 1922 C-Cab

I first saw this one years ago in the city of Folsom....usually parked by the old bowling alley. I believe in those days it was powered with a 4 cylinder motor from a Ford Pinto.




Here is a little detail shot of the rear suspension. Over and under short leaf springs and a couple big shock absorbers.



In this montage shot you can see the V-6 power  under the hood...and kind of make out the modern suspension clip up front...providing independent front suspension.




Made a trip down to Monterey area last weekend and spotted this Model T at a rest stop called Casa de Fruta . In the store was this old Model T....that is probably a survivor of a long life working in a local orchard or farm.















Out in the back area of Casa de Fruta is quite a collection of old farm vehicles along a road.


Two of my favorites.




Not sure of the make of this old truck...guessing late thirties. It is right hand drive like a lot of old Farm/ orchard vehicles.


A heavy duty framed Model A truck.

Going to try to get down to the local vehicle museum this weekend, and scope out some Model T's there. So, check back....might be some new pics to gander at.
