My father Valerian, born in 1909, around 12 or 13 years old, sitting on a Model T in his Sunday clothes near Hobson, Texas. You had to hand crank this car. I remember him telling me some people would break their arm when the crank handle would kick back on them if the car backfired. This car was the second most popular car of all time. The Volkswagen Beetle was the best selling. Circa 1921 or 1922. I just like the photograph and wanted to share it.
