Hummm...Until Henry invented the "Doctor's Coupe," there were no doctors. Only quacks with huckster.

I vaguely recall a story of a Doctor who used his Runabout's acetylene headlight to illuminate emergency surgery during one particular house call. It seemed he had an extra length of hose for that purpose.

My father bought a new Model T For Coupe in 1923. He did not get his Dr's degree (PHD) until 1942. The Ford Company allowd him to drive the coupe (Dr's Coupe) under a special license. I bought a 1923 Model T Coupe (Great restoration) in 1953. I have the couse work for a Dr's degree (PHD), but did not finish the work. The Ford Company did not get after me for driving a Dr's coupe without the correct college degree.
