If anyone has pictures they'd like to post but might not have the hang of it, send me a PM (private message) and I'll either post them for you, or assist if you want to post them yourself.

This is my grandfather, John G. Innes, at the family farm ( still known as Justafarm) near Ashburn, Ontario in about 1914. I drove past the farm 10 minutes ago in a 1911 Buick - I think the road is a little better now.

NOTE: The door handle on the driver's side & I think the Acetylene generator is a little farther back than some ----- it is a Canadian built car.

Great photo, Jack.

Flat tire somewhere near Chicago. Mom & Dad on the right, not helping much. Either is whoever took the photo, now that I think of it.

Getting better efficiency out of a car through good aerodynamics is certainly not a new idea; Bucky Fuller did it in the Dymaxion car and Chrysler did it with the Airflow. However before either of them, Harry Stevinson of Bashaw, Alberta took a junked model T Ford (top speed 45 MPH), "aeromodded" it and got it to go 70 MPH. The fuel economy also went from 25 miles per gallon to 38 mpg.
