No April Fools today. Advertising money to charity

No April Fools today. Advertising money to charity

  • No April Fools today. Advertising money to charity

Traditionally, we would post an item in our online magazine today with a twist, a joke to celebrate April Fools. However, with the current situation in the world, we feel that it is not the right time to do this. It is time for action and to do something ourselves, even if it is only something small. Therefore, besides our personal donations, today and this weekend we will donate all proceeds from advertising on PreWarCar.com and PostWarClassic.com to the Red Cross to help the people in Ukraine. So if you want to advertise your car, motorbike or part in the coming weeks, try to do it this weekend and your advertising money will go to people who need it.

Start your advertising here.

Of course, you can also donate directly. Go to the website of the Red Cross to see what they do and donate here.

 

Thank you. Laurens Klein, MD PreWarCar.com & PostWarClassic.com

Dave, Two items make me believe the T pictured is 1919 or newer. The pictured car would have cowl lamps and non-demountable wheels if a 1918 model. A 1919 would have had no cowl lamps as all closed cars after 1918 had electric lights and starter. Also demountable wheels were standard with the “electric” cars. Respectfully, Jeff P.

Great detective work Ace! Car is 1919-1923 T, not very much difference between the years.

A careful look at the window trim makes me believe it is a 1918 Hardtop Coupe with removable center post and window suround. Only a few remain!

The vehicle is obviously a Ford Model T, but I'll have to leave it to the experts to identify the year of the car as there were so many running changes to Ford's most popular model.

The vehicle belonged to the Bridgeton, New Jersey (U.S.A.) Red Cross. I was able to find another photo of what looks like the exact same auto in a photo from the Library of Congress. Their Bridgeton Red Cross location was at 10 Commerce Street, and I found an advertisement for them in the 1921-1922 Directory of Bridgeton New Jersey. Their old building still exists, and it is now part of the city's historical district.
