Young Man Driving a 1916 Jeffery Quad through Snow

Summary

The Jeffery Company, and its successor Nash Motors, built Quad trucks from 1913 to 1928. All four wheels were powered, all four wheels were used in steering, and special differentials allowed all four wheels to move independently as traction conditions required. Quads were equally at home in mud, in snow, or on the battlefield.
