This presentation is an offbeat look at the humble beginnings of America's fascination with the automobile. Once called "stinkwagons" and "hissing demons," the car was considered a passing fancy and a threat to decency. Yet with the arrival of the Model T, Tin Lizzy and Arrow, a gneration of Sunday drivers were born. Inspired by sheer speed, Yankee virtue, and youthful indulgence, a mass-culture love affair began. Soon presidents, doctors, and even cowboys found uses for the horseless carriage. The car was here to stay as this fitful invention of the industrial age dragged a nation kicking and screaming into the 20th century.
