Very interesting, thanks for sharing

Glad you enjoyed it.  It's pretty neat that a car designed 100 years ago with only 4 inch wide tires can go up an ice covered steep incline from a standing start.  Glad to see this film got preserved.  I was actually looking for footage of board track racing when I come across this.

The most interesting note is that the Dodge Brothers supplied the engine, transmission and rear differential to Ford on the Early Model T's....

Henry thought the Dodge Bros would be a failure if they tried building cars on their own..... and he was proven wrong!

That's why,  boys and girls, you ALWAYS have to try!

That is pretty cool   It looks like they were making right and left hand drive cars at the same time on the same line.

4" wide tires = lots of PSI for grip!!
