Beautiful work, love the mother-in-law seat.
Folks don't realize most roads weren't paved, even in cities, until the mid-20s. Traveling from city to city, particularly during the rainy season, was a major undertaking. What the T had going for it was the high ground clearance and flexible 3-point suspension allowing it to twist over objects. A T won the first coast to coast race in 1909, not many finishers though.
