N.Z. Veteran and Vintage Motoring BBADBD IIEBLS N.Z. VETERAN AND VINTAGE MOTORING MARCH, 1963 ", "H0 RSELESS CARRIAGE" In 1893 the first su ccessful gasoline pow ered motorcar in th e United S tates cr uised down the main s t reets of Spring-field, Ma ss., a t a s pee d of five mil es a n hour ! This car was mad e by two brother s, Cha rl es E. and J, Frank Duryea. In 1896 Hen r y F ord drove his first ca r out of the machine sho p in De troit. Lat er , his syste m of ma chine-mad e, interchangeable parts, an d assembly line pr o­ duction , put mo tor cars within the pri ce mnge of th e man-in-the-street. By th e beginning of th e 20th cen tury, 8,000 mot orcars wer e re gist er ed 111 the United States. Th ese we re powered by s team, gasoline or electric ity, a nd even th en they did not look much lik e the original " Horseless Ca rria ge." Some of th e laws passed in the ea rl y days of th e moto rca r make us chuckle tod a y.

In so me pla ces motorcars were banned entirely, and an g r y fa rmers guarded th eir livestock with shotguns agai ns t th ese "con traptions of th e devil." It is easy to see th at ea rl y mot ori st s were indeed br a ve pion eers, often r un­ nin g risk s that would be hard to im a gine toda y, for th ey al so had to contend with the discomfort of rough ro ad s, open drivin g sea ts and temperamental eng ines .

Motor Truck Fach , - , "~:.. -, '. - - ----_.. _" NCREASED adaptation of motor trucks in local delivery service, farm to market hauling, intercity transport and - construction work is reflected in 1934 and 1935 production I . and sales of American made motor trucks. Motor truck production in 1934 was 67% grcliter than in 1933, and represented the third highest annual output in the history of the t industry. Going into its closing months, 1935 shows a 21 % Production increase over 1934. Indications are that output this year will be second only to the banner year of 1929. Studies by Federal Gcivemment bureaus and others engaged in highway transport research have developed facts on motor truck economy, fast service and flexibility that explain reasons for the growth of motor truck transportation. These are included in this booklet as are figures on taxes paid by motor trucks, a synopsis of the Federal Motor Carrier Act, a by-state study of the number of communities almost entirely dependent on I motor truck transportation, and other pertinent data.
