The article is typical, worried about fuel mileage "It gets about six miles to the gallon" and later "It gets 15 miles per gallon"...so which is it? And does it really flippin' matter with a car that has outlasted the vast majority of people alive on Earth today??? It is a hundred years old! Appreciate the car for what it is - a masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship. A work of art, really!

Looks like a heap to me. Is that what the Munstermobile started out as?

And it's even a 440 / 4 Speed.
No AC though, Stan.

It is not a car. It is not a vehicle. It has no right to be even called a mode of transportation.
To me it's worthless as anything.
It IS a good reminder that most of civilization is stupid, though.

Keep in mind those cars shared the road with horse carriages after which the bodies were modelled. Mechanically it was state of the art for the time. Also those were only available to the wealthy elite.
