Beap52 2,519 #2 Posted 2 hours ago Good Golly! If he could see us now! Consider transportation for thousands of years and how much it has changed in the past 150 years. If that's not amazing, I don't know what is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My grandparents lived about 70 miles from my great grandparents. One day I was going down to my grandfathers home town (Great grandpa had since passed on) to pick up a 953 and asked grandpa if he wanted to ride along. As we drove down I-81 he said when he and grandma got married it was a full day's trip with a horse and buggy and now we were doing it in an hour. He told me that the Model A Ford wasn't much of an improvement because you were still on the same rutted muddy roads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
