Ford Model T Town Car Stuck in Mud, circa 1911
Add to SetSummary
Early drivers faced two types of roads: bad roads and no roads at all. America's crude dirt and gravel roads were dusty paths in good weather, and impassible mires of muck and mud in bad weather. The automobile's growing popularity led motorists to press elected officials for better roads -- and better roads encouraged more people to buy cars.
