And one heck of a way better to get there cleaner than riding a horse!

Re: OLD PHOTO - Brass Era, She's A Mudder!
Lots of questions ! Photo reversed ? Or Canadian ? A 1914 Model, but what's up with the windshield arrangement ?!? Nasty dent just behind the dash board.
For the era, that's not much mud at all. As a family conveyance, the auty-mobile replaced the buggy, surrey or spring wagon which were pretty much the equal of early "infernal contraptions" when it came to protecting passengers from the elements.

No visible hinges on front "door" pannel so suspect reversed negative. However, buttons on clothing suggest not?

Everyone always looks so hot in these older photos. People really dressed up - doesn't seem like they ever dressed down for the hotter weather.

To answer the question on the windshield.
There was an after market kit that allowed you to pull the bottom of the windshield back, allowing the air to cool your feet.
There is a '14 Canadian T that comes to the MTFCI tours with this feature.
