Re: Three compartment tank on early cars

I think a better name for that show is Garbage Pickers. Right now I'm on business and have about one hour of free time per day. I don't have cable (because it's garbage) so I watch the car shows on the hotel TV. The auction in Palm Beach was so nuts if I was taking drugs I couldn't dream up that crap.

Anyway, the very early cars had multiple tanks up front under a lid, but by 1910 the oil tank was under the hood, the gas tank was under the seat, and the radiator was filled at the cap. The model 38/48 had the gas tank at the rear.

I have pictures of a Model F that show this, but I won't publish them because they are contraband pictures.
