Model T Depot Hack

We've been doing a lot of woodies lately (hit that link for one example; or just google "autoliterate" and "woodie"--or maybe "woody"). The 1930 Ford was one of my favorites,  but I guess this machine is really the place to start. The ur-Woodie station wagon. I'm guessing @ 1916. If anyone has a better idea let me know. At York Harbor, Maine.

  1. I have no better idea, but there was one at the Benicia Band Benefit car show this year with the hood up...and the elegant simplicity under there was equal to what your pictures show here. About the only thing I admire more [function-wise] might be the Yak, a Chinese miniature knock-off of a WWII GMC command car with an equally simple flathead fourbanger.
