Showcasing the drool-worthy

One thing that the Model T--and other early cars--did offer people was an unprecedented opportunity to hit the open road, whether on local jaunts or more ambitious excursions. "The Ford," this undated ad proclaims, "gives you unlimited chance to get away into new surroundings every day--a picnic supper or a cool spin in the evening to enjoy the countryside or a visit with friends." And road trips weren't just for the restless; they could also improve your physical and financial well-being: "By stimulating good health and efficiency, owning a Ford increases your earning power."
