The 1922 Model T Ford Touring Car. Verna and I went horseback occasionally, but more often than not I went to see her in this car. We were on a trip to Hot Springs South Dakota with friends, and had a flat tire. This model had tires mounted on a rim that could be removed and another tire replaced. The earlier models had to have tires reoved [sic] and patched on the spot, before continuing the journey.
This is the 1922 Ford Coupe that we bought in 1929 for $25.00. The windows could be lowered or lifted with a strap attached to the bottom of the glass. It was an improvement over the touring car with side curtains, but it was top heavy and caught a lot of wind at 30 or 35 miles per hour.
