Note: What used to be the Watson Ranch on U. S. Highway 30 in Kearney, Nebraska (which had the world's largest barn), was purchased by the Wood's Brothers on June 20, 1917, and renamed the 1733 Ranch because it was located 1733 miles from Boston and 1733 miles from San Francisco. As stated earlier, Bruce McCalley of the Model T Ford Club of America suggests that the car may be a 1912 Ford Torpedo Runabout.

Thanks to Kerry Elkins, formerly of Holdrege, Nebraska, for his helpful information. He is the webmaster for the website Holdrege.com. For more of the Watson/1733 Ranch story, visit the following website:
