The year, make and model can be found by placing your curser over the picture or by enlarging the image by clicking on it. To get info on the car, goggle the year, make and model.

An amazing technological progression. I learned as a boy that U.S. veteran automobiles sat very high on the road "plenty of air underneath" (and had wider gauge) than European cars because in early motoring days so few roads were tarmaced - and so they sank into the mud in wet conditions. Then came the underslung. I have heard people argue this is why the city-bound Underslung did not sell so well. (Below - 1904 Panhard et Levassor & 1904 Oldsmobile)
