From Alex Emond:"This car was sitting in a yard in Neville, Saskatchewan, just south of Speedy Creek. The owner and a few of his friends were on hand so I asked if I could do a sketch and take some pictures, No problem . He said that, at 6' 3" he can barely fit in it to drive . A hundred years ago the average height for a man was more like 5'8". I sat in the shade and did a quick rendering . Beautiful fall weather . Cheers, Alex"
AL:Not sure if it is a model T or not. 1927 was the last year of Model T production. The "t" we know and admire here in Brooklin Maine is a 1917 Model T and looks much spindlier and frailer than this unit. We posted on the naturalist John Burroughs' Model T, a gift from Henry himself. The there's Senator Eugene McCarthy's Model T poem.
