I think that most people forget how durable old cars actually were. When new they were driven as daily drivers, recreational, and work vehicles and performed much in the same way cars do today. The following was a promotional video shot in the 1920′s by the Dodge Brothers. It showcases one of their 4-door sedans as it navigates over terrain that would likely kill a normal “new” car. Cool stuff if you ask me.
