Oh, so the 1920's cars didn't have any problems?

Probably less problems. Was a lot simpler car. And most trips were short
enough for a battery powered vehicle. Problem was the Model T was 1/3 the
price.

Anyone remember "Mad" magazine with Alfred E. Neuman?

I remember reading an issue as a kid ... probably back in the late 50's.
The back page had a topic or subject that asked a question. To see
the answer, you would fold the page in thirds on vertical dotted lines.

I remember this particular issue asked what would be the "perfect"
car design, combining low cost, reliability and fuel economy,
When you folded the page to display the hidden image, there was
a picture of a Model T.



I liked the Model A's a lot more. We had a Model A V-8 rigged as a small
"derrick" to lift outboard boats off their delivery trucks and onto
dollies in the showroom. Learned to drive at a highly illegal age in the
boatyard on that truck and the jeep.
