Add to SetSummary
The versatile Ford Model T could be -- and was -- adapted into any number of special-use vehicles. This photograph shows a two-seat Model T runabout with its wheels replaced by tank-style tracks. The continuous tracks gave this unusual T the ability to travel through deep snow and climb steep hills.
