Model T Everglades
In 1923 Barron Collier attempted to cross the Everglades in the area between Miami and Naples to pave a path for the Tamiami Trail. His Model-T made it 56 miles into the swamp before running out of gas. It took him and his men almost 2 weeks to find their way out.
What happened to the Model-T????? |

Re: Model T Everglades
I used to live in naples, heard that same story, one made it and the other didn't. There are pictures hanging in resturants in Naples of the journey. Pretty cool.
