Some twenty-five years ago, ERTL offered the 1923 Ford Model T in both taxi and civilian form. I like the taxi just as ERTL released it, but somehow the family sedan didn't suit me. Here they are now, straight from my display area:

@michel-lemieux Many thanks, Michel. The film you posted is fascinating! I watched it all and loved it. The addition of the mild "colorization" may have made it more realistic to the modern eye, but the impact of the traffic, the horses, the sweeping dresses, the wearing of hats, the number of cars (and their right hand steering wheels!), and the streetcars . . . you have posted a fine experience. Again, I thank you.

And I can't resist adding a c. 1920 toy from my shelves with the same background:

Every time I look at it, I see a few things that had escaped me. There are several others video just as fascinating. Sometimes I would like to have a time machine and be there to experience it.

My old toys give me some of that same feeling. The streetcar above was a product of Mohawk Toys of New York City, 1919-1921.
