Funny how this Ford was marketed only as a "summer and fall" car... Forget about the winter...
Also - interesting to note that I see no car model years between 1941 and 1945. WWII I suppose...
- smacktoward 7y agoYes, all civilian car production in the U.S. was suspended for the duration of the war so the auto plants could be used to produce military trucks, tanks and aircraft.
- Aloha 7y agoI'm astounded sometimes how little people know about history anymore.
- ashtonbaker 7y agoWell, nobody can know everything.
- Waterluvian 7y agoMay just be an advertising angle. But I do remember my grandfather telling me that a bad car will have holes in its floor after just one winter worth of slush and road salt.
- smacktoward 7y agoThe one in the brochure (a 1924 Model T) didn't have a fully enclosed cabin -- there was a windshield and a fabric top, but the doors were only half-high and didn't have any windows or bodywork above them, just big open holes. So yeah, if you take one of those out in a snowstorm, you're gonna have a bad time :-D
- rebuilder 7y agoRain seems like a problem as well. Maybe it came with a covering of some kind?
- whenchamenia 7y agoCompared to a carriage or walking, not too bad actually.
