Henry Ford and Frank Kulick Seated in a Ford Model T during a Flood, circa 1916
Add to SetSummary
The Ford Model T's high ten-inch ground clearance was intended to help the car clear obstacles on rough roads. But it also helped when crossing shallow streams or driving through floodwater. This photo shows Henry Ford and Frank Kulick confidently running a Model T over a flooded road around 1916.
