By Larry Smith, Lomita, California on Thursday, September 08, 2016 - 05:22 pm:Does any one have any information on the small Fageol tractors that used Model T engines to haul people around the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915? The company went on to build tractors, buses and trucks after that. They were headquartered in Oakland, California.
