olddetroit: Two women drive a Ford Model T past the front the Ford Piquette Avenue Plant. Circa 1908. Dude, I know way too much about early Fords. One look at this picture and my first thoughts are: That’s not actually a T, it’s a Model N, which served as prototype for the later Model T. And it’s not just any woman driving, it’s Clara Ford.   See kids, this is what a career in archives can give you: a head full of minutia and hot Friday nights correcting the internets!
