Dec 2010 Came Home

This is the day that I brought the 1919 Model T home. Borrowed a trailer from my wife's uncle and my father inlaw and myself headed to Lodi, OH. area to pick the "T" up and bring it to it's new home in Wellington. This "T" is running and was able to drive it on to and off of the trailer which made life much simpler.
This "T" has a wooden pickup bed installed and also came with the rear turtle deck. The top is shot and will need to be replaced as you can put a finger right through it easily. There are a few body rust spots but no rust through, just chipped off paint. The engine has a serial number for December 1919 which technically would make this a 1920 T, but the casting date on the engine is marked for 1922, so I would guess this was a replacement engine that was serial stamped to reflect the original.
My wife asked me what we were going to name the "T".  I just blurted out Clyde, she thought for a moment and said that when the pickup bed is on he can be Clyde and when the turtle deck is installed she will be Bonnie.
