Interesting! On the Model T engine shot the spark plugs caught my eye. I always wondered why those little screw tip's were on them. Pretty much useless today Beautiful set of photo's!!!

Ditto to all - great shots and lovely cars.

To me, shot 5 tells me everything you need to know about a Rolls Royce: the car is meant for the passenger, not the driver. Elegant comfort for the passenger, who is almost always the owner, and whose car is almost always driven by a hired driver.

Very true! Also, a funny role reversal for the materials used - back then, leather was considered as a utilitarian material and used for the driver's seats only. The passengers preferred much more comfortable and luxurious fabric. Funny how time changes things!
