In U.S. iron, the Model "T", is where it all started, (it took V/W 40 years
to catch it's production) roads, travel, financing, motels, road side
restaurants, nothing was around until the "T" and then the super travel
started with the "A". The model "T" also had the first fold down seats for
sleeping while traveling, (some folks used them for curb service). "FT"

There are many interesting stories surounding the Model T. My favorite is
the one where Henry specified the shipping crate in which the out-sourced
transmissions were to be shipped. The dimensions of the crate bore little
resemblance to the shape of the transmission but after the crate was
received the sides were removed and the top and bottom made perfect
floorboards for the car!
Cleaver!
