I noticed that all of the earlier cars are RHD.
Up till the Model T, all American cars were RHD but they still drove on the RHS of the road. Weird!

Back then most tires were white --natural rubber.

Yeah, I think carbon black was first added to rubber tires in 1912 or thereabouts. There's a 1908 Holsman at McPherson college that has black tires and we've been giving the faculty a hard time about it, since they're not period correct.
