A Filipino nurse and her Model T

• 

"Miss Baldamera Garcia, nurse at the Philippine Islands. The duties of her position take her far from home and through all sorts of country. As her work grew in scope and the people began to accept the new doctrine of cleanliness, it became impossible for the territory to be covered as it should be. On a trip to Manilla, Miss Garcia decided the Ford runabout would be the right choice to travel rapidly over her district." (from 'Ford Times, August 1915).

editor: now for those of you who may have the idea that Manilla at the Philippines was a remote area with limited activity, they better check in at The new Manilla Hotel in the same year 1915 when Miss Garcia acquired her Model T.

Mmmm...Model T & 1915 rings another bell as well. Dirk Regter probably is bolting on the last bits on his fully repaired world travelling Model T. Better check in there and give the tour a little support through the purchase of one or two sponsoring stickers at Euro 10/US$ 10
