Well
I am not sure ,but it looks like a two door 1921 Chevrolet coupe. Google "1921 Chevrolet pictures" I just sold a 1921 Chevrolet touring car rag top two weeks ago. |

Fords and Chevrolets in that error looked almost identical, after closer checking the picture of the car in question right side photo, I noted an air scoop on top of the front cowl---Chevrolet did not have that option in the 20's. I stand corrected, it appears to be a 1925+/- Ford model T Allan |

So, I went to the source - the only still living person in the pic. She filled me in on the picture, not that she had memory of it rather memories of how many times in life she heard stories about that time. My math wasn't quite right on her age. She was the New Years baby for Calgary Alberta in 1927. She says she was 6 months old in that picture. Her Grandparents had taken them on a trip to Spokane via Radium Hot Springs in British Columbia. That is likely the train station picture. She called the car Grandma's new Ford. So the trip would have been June 1927 and if it is a new vehicle it would be a 1926. (I don't think 1927 models would be on the market in June of '26 but stand to be corrected on that assumption). I wouldn't discount 1925 as that might still be considered newish.
Funny story added. The toy gun was purchased in Spokane. Upon crossing the border back into Canada and being asked if they bought anything, Grandpa said NO. The honest six year old immediately corrected him saying Grandpa bought me a gun. I'll bet he was popular at that moment. Cheers, Jack

I agree its the rear window but have never seen one that small and mostly the oval shape was for soft tops and not the hard tops. Did see a picture of Model T that had an oval rear window but it was much larger and the door further back. Anyway cool old pictures but definitely whether a Model A or T it is a 1920's era vehicle.

If that 1-year-old baby girl is currently 92 that makes the picture was taken about 1926 but that is not really an indicator of the year of the car. I say between 1915 to 1925. The one in the barn appears to be earlier.

The oval back window would indicate that it is a non Ford.
If you look at the car in the background, it has the square back window that indicates ford. The thing on the cowl is the gas cap. Back in those days, the top half of the front cowl was the gas tank. On the inside, in the dash, would be a sight glass to tell you your fuel level. not exactly the safest way to store a flammable liquid. |

If the dates mentioned are correct. This would be a last year Model T. Ford introduced the Model A in 1927. One of the big changes between the T & the A was relocating the gas tank. The Model A introduced the cowl mounted tank which could be identified by a round gas cap in the top center of the cowl. I believe that the Model A was the crossover for wire wheels as well. Another big change which can't be seen in the picture was a change in transmission types and how the clutch worked.
One thing to keep in mind about Model T's. There were many versions of them over their life span. They started out in the brass era and morphed into what would eventually would be refined into the Model A. |
