Took a ride through the country today and spotted this old car on the side of the road. Does anyone recognize this old model?

No clue what it is but sad that it's just rotting away. =)

I have no clue either, only that it is older than me :lol: :lol: :lol:
It is a cool capture.

All I can tell you is that it is an old car, and a really nice shot.

Looks like a Early Ford Model T from the the frame & grill . Where you found it might suggest it was an old woodie vegetable or dairy truck.

I don't know what it is but I would have loved to have seen the original shot, without anything done in PS

Thanks, Jackal, John, Skip and LisaMarie. John... this is the original capture with USM only. Do you like it better?

I like this second picture a lot more!! It's pre-1932. In 1933 most radiators started a slight backwards slant. Other than that, I'll bet $20 the color was black.;)

My guess is a 1926 Ford truck. Note the strap over the lights and around the fenders, plus the crank and the spoked wheels. Looks like a match to me.

I think it would look great in sepia or black n white.

WOW! I really like this shot. Not sure being in B&W would improve it, the rust looks beautiful - from a photographic point of view of course - I wouldn't like to see my own car quite like this!

Yep, original pic is much better for me than the "processed" one. Nice shot, wish I could find things like this to shoot!

Its an early 20's (looks like a 1920 to me) Ford T Flatbed. You can tell its a T by the crank, and its early 20's by the small grill. This body style was consistent until '28, I believe.

Nice photo :)

Thanks Joe... found this old beauty in your homestate, northwest corner.

Hi Dave, Sandi, Kenny, Eric, Bruce and Togs... looks like the original is the majority's favorite. Your feedback is so helpful. Thanks you.

If I had it to do over again, I would have pulled that dead twig out from in front of the car! :o
