My uncle said of those old Fords that if you drove at night, you had to get out with an oil lamp and go around front to see if your headlights were working. They were pretty weak. Hard to imagine but when my old man was born automobiles were virtually unknown to most. He walked, rode a wagon, horse or mule. Mostlyl you went on foot.

Interesting quote:

"Any woman can drive an electric automobile, any man can drive a steam, but neither man nor woman can drive a gasoline; it follows its own odorous will, and goes or goes not as it feels disposed.
—Arthur Jerome Eddy, early automobile enthusiast, 1902
