Maybe not, contrary to popular belief you could order a Model T in other colours, the "any colour you like as long it's black" is a bit of an urban myth. They also built a huge range of options on the line rather than it being one model only.
We used to own a maroon one which was built in that colour and also a fire engine which was factory built.
A truly great car and still valid today, my grandfather started off in business in 1920 selling them and we are still going 90 years later.
Oh, nice photograph!

Ah!! those were the days when you could leave a can of petrol
on your running board... safe in the knowledge that some bugger
wouldn't pinch it!
