Name That Photo - With A Twist
It didn't take long for you Active Rainer's to figure out that the wheel belonged to a Model T Ford. (View the original post.)
We were just out for a ride when we spotted this old timer rolling down the street. We followed it and spoke with the owner that told us, his car was a 1925 Model T Ford.
The wheel in question would probably cost more today than the whole car sold for in 1925. The basic model sold for $281 and if you wanted an electric starter you would have to part with $366.
Found a few other interesting facts about the car.

It's great to see pictures of such interesting old cars. My dad had a 1953 Chevy when we were in junior high in the early 60s, and we thought it was soooo old. All I remember is the scratchiness of the seats.
Great photo. I need to dig through some of my mom's old photos to find the pics of her family all piled into their Model T.
Now that is a classic. I am surprised at the cost of an electric starter...dealer options at exorbitant prices is not a new concept! Thanks for the picture and info.
I would have never guessed, but an old car like that I would have said Ford, year ?
That what that was..now it makes sense. Thanks for the post and the challenge!!
Beautifully restored Model T, Henry Ford changed the world and how we do business, we need more progressive minds like that in todays world, nice job thanks
Al and Peggy, I thought it was an antique car, but didn't know which one. I guess an electric starter was a luxury in 1925.
I never get these right, but I'm glad I got one right. Love the Model T
Hey kids, the coupe shown was also called a 'Doctor's Coupe' going back to the days when a doctor made house calls, and kept his supplies in that small trunk compartment. When they started to make the Model 'A' in 1928, they made that compartment bigger and put in that rumble seat for passengers.
Ed only knows all of this because he bought one new when they first came out...and he still drives one today!!!
Al and Peggy,
$281 bought a lot aand a nice car in 1925! We can even pay yearly dues with $281 today.
Al; Craig is pretty close to the truth. And it was the first car I bought. second hand from a real estate agent in Cary NC only I waited a couple of years and picked it up in '31
Wow, ain't that great! I love and appreciate the old classics. I wonder if our great-grandkids will be in awe of our generation of cars?
They look beautiful, but I need something with a little more horsepower, air conditioning, fuel injection, sun roof, and, of course, a CD player for my Beatles music.

Al and Peggy you can't get anything by this group. I look forward the the next photo :)
Hi Al & Peggy, That's a beauty -- you're so lucky to have come across it while you had your camera!
What? $281 for a car, what a ripoff, who can afford that? Haha. What a beauty that car is. It takes a lot of patience to restore them.
Al and Peggy lovely old car. I am fortunate to run into these cars now on then. The carhow is close by and there is a car club too.
Al & Peggy - Wow, these Active Rainer's are pretty smart, at least I was on the right track with this one.
And you just had to get a Timmy's in the background didn't you? For all of our American friends who don't live in border towns Tim Hortons' coffee is a staple in a Canadian's life.
What a great car-there is someone in my area that drives something similar to that every so often.
