Did you know? This picture features C. Fisher Wantz posing with his brand new automobile on December 23, 1912. Less than a month later, on January 10th, he collided with a freight train narrowly avoiding serious injury to himself and his car. It wasn’t long before the average price of cars decreased, allowing them to become a staple of American life.
