MY DAD, UPON GRADUATING HIGH SCHOOL, IN 1919.. WITH THREE CLASSMATES, BOUGHT A MODEL T FORD..FOR $20 AND HEADED WEST…
THERE WERE ONLY MUDDY DIRT ROADS IN THE MIDWEST PRAIRIES!.
BLACKSMITHS MADE REPAIRS TO THE DRIVE SHAFT.
THE MODEL T FORD WAS SOLD FOR TRAINFARE BACK!
Trucks…EXISTED ONLY IN CITIES WITH COBBLESTONE OR PAVED STREETS..
THE EARLY TRUCKS WERE CHAIN DRIVE.
