Off-roading in a Model T, 1920s

Did they have driver's licenses back then?

It depends on the state. The first two states to introduce them were Missouri and Massachusetts in 1903.

Off-roading in a Model T during the 1920s would have been a unique adventure. The Ford Model T, often referred to as the "Tin Lizzie," was a robust vehicle for its time and was designed to handle the often rough and unpaved roads of early 20th-century America. Its high ground clearance made it suitable for traversing uneven terrains. Many rural areas lacked proper roads, so a Model T's ability to travel across fields, dirt paths, and rough trails was essential. 1929 ModelT spotted 2023
