A 1915 Ford Model T hasn't lost any of its charm over the years. Someone has made it look almost better then new. The brass has been shined and it looks like it is gold plated.

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie, Leaping Lena, jitney or flivver) is an automobile produced by Ford Motor Company from October 1, 1908, to May 26, 1927. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, which made car travel available to middle-class Americans. The relatively low price was partly the result of Ford's efficient fabrication, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting.

The Ford Model T was named the most influential car of the 20th century in the 1999 Car of the Century competition, ahead of the BMC Mini, Citro�n DS, and Volkswagen Type 1. Ford's Model T was successful not only because it provided inexpensive transportation on a massive scale, but also because the car signified innovation for the rising middle class and became a powerful symbol of the United States age of modernization. With 16.5 million sold, it stood eighth on the top ten list of most sold cars of all time, as of 2012--Wikipedia

Awesome old beauty and nice vignetting work. I always wondered which came first the Model A or the Model T.. Thanks for the narrative on the Ford.

Very nice, Tick. I would love to have a Ford Model T. I don't think it would make today's freeway speeds, but it would look great in holiday parades! :)

And Carol, FYI, here is some info about the Difference Between the Ford Model T and Model A , Haynes.

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), although this T-Ford is very old, it has a brand new appearance. Probably because of your perfect way of selective coloring and vignetting too. So please invite me for a ride (😁) when the restrictive measures because of the pandemic are weakened, both in your country/state and my country as well.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

That is a great beauty, a very vintage automobile, Tick. Not only is it a vintage car but your treament of the image gives a feeling a an earlier time.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
