...why they called them "Horseless Carriages".

1907 Kiblinger Runabout

I found a sizable gallery of old cars, hot rods, etc., at: http://www.detnews.com/joyrides/

I really, really like old cars. (I consider them old if they're older than I am.)

[Post-edit comment: I hate it when UBB doesn't convert it's closing quotes properly! It always converts to an almost-HTML format and I forgot to check this time! It's fixed, now. I converted it to HTML. UBB tends to leave that alone, but not always.]

Here's a 1909 Ford Model T with a "mother-in-law" seat.

Did anyone really ride back there? I dunno. I should ask my mom. She might know.
