Ford Motor Co. has received an award for making the best car engine in the world, to the astonishment and unbelief of German citizens. Actually, Ford won the award for best engine two years in a row and the engine got the highest rating ever given.
Congratulations to Ford, but I bet no car will ever be as famous and as important to the nation's economy as the Model-T.
This might be quite a leap but the only memory I have of my mother's home before her family moved to Shreveport was when I was three years old and involved a Model-T. My memory is that in front of the house was a knoll and between the knoll and the road was a deep ditch. Uncle Robert Bigby, who always drove big, heavy cars, backed into our Model-T and knocked it into the deep ditch, leaving our car on its side. No wrecker was called and none was needed. Enough people were on hand to turn the car right side up, and the brave little Model-T powered itself our of the ditch. No harm done.
