My dad ran a wrecking yard in Nebraska in the 1930's. I commented one time about a model T seemed to keep running. He said, they never went more than 25,000 miles in a lifetime. You always kept a strip of leather in the toolbox to replace a poured Babbitt bearing when it went out any old time. If you did not have the leather, you could use a piece of your belt or the tongue for a shoe. They turned over all the time. Heavy metal, the did not bend, but the passengers did. They were better than horses, but not by much. |
