This is one of many Ford Model T's in
Wisconsin during the 1920's. This classic car was valued
for its high axles that could
easily maneuver in the quagmire dirt roads prevalent at that
time. This Ford Model T was traded in for a more
expensive and luxurious Chevrolet and then resold by the
Chevrolet dealership in Wisconsin around 1929.
Henry Art's and Charles Diederich's
Chevrolet Automobile Dealership
located in Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wisconsin. The two partners operated
this Chevrolet car dealership from the summer of 1924 until the depression when
the business
could no longer support the two partner's families.
It was dissolved in
1930.
