Cacky: I remember all those things every one has written about, Gabbie and I were grown when you folks first saw the light of day. I cannot but smile real big when I see you folks talking about those "MODERN" cars, studebaker, Graham Paige, reo, and all those modern ones. The first car I ever owned was a Model "T" Ford, gave $5.00 for it, of course the motor was in bad shape, I overhauled it, used Bruton Snuff cans to make shims for the crankshaft, (Necessary to repair about every 3 to 4 months) and I used up all the leather harness (For Mules and Horses) to make brake and clutch bands for the transmission. The funny thing about them was they did not have a fuel pump on the gas line, So necessary to mount the Gasoline tank just under the windshield, so fuel would gravity flow to the carburetor. When you would start up a hill, if fuel was low it would flow away from the intake pipe in the tank and the motor would stop, No Fuel> It would then be necessary to turn around and back up the hill. so gasoline would flow down to the motor. Gasoline was only 14 cents per gallon, but you would never leave a lot of gasoline in the tank because it would evaporate, and you got no use from it, even at 14 cents per gallon. I could swap one frying size chicken for 20 cents worth of Gasoline and a pack of Black Jack Chewing gum. Boy what a date. Ira
