When I saw this post, I thought you were referring to a book that I read just a few months ago entitled "Eight Women, Two Model Ts, and the American West" by Joanne Wilke. This book is wonderful in that is taken from a couple of journals that the girls kept while on their trip in 1924. The girls were just getting out of college, wanted to see the west coast, pooled their money and bought two new 1924 Model Ts and left from Marshalltown, Iowa via the Lincoln Highway. There are plenty of pictures. They dealt with many of the same problems that we restorers face today. Nothing has changed with the Model T. It made me feel guilty for doubting the capability of the Model T. I am always "on edge" when I travel very far from home in my 1914 T. I believe that the book is available in paperback on Amazon. It is a great read just before you turn off the lights. Ed
