2011 - 81-year-old Big Bend resident Irvin Walker, now deceased, had to come to Grantsville to pick-up a few things at the drug store.
He fired up his wheels to make the trip, a newly acquired 1930 Model-T Ford.
It is a fine looking automobile.
"It really runs good, the nearest thing to an automatic in 1920," Walker said.
The Model-T Ford was called a "tin lizzy" by its detractors when it came out, but it was anything but.
It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that opened travel to middle-class America.
