I think this picture is of a 26 or 27 I think if memory serves me right the 
gas tank with a flapper under the cowl came in those years. Prior to that 
they were under the seat. When I was a teenager I was into Model T's and A's 
but have forgot most of what I knew. I bought my first car a Model A at age 
13 and still have it. that was 46 years ago.
