My great grandfather roughed it in his Model-T around country Victoria in the 20's with his family. You can see it here:

It really gives me a sense they lived in the future, being able to drive huge distances into remote parts of my home state almost 100 years ago.

Imagine going on a road trip in suit and tie! Culturally, it is such a different landscape, but it is not so many years ago!

That was a time before ready to wear mass market clothing came to be. In those days people had a couple of changes of clothes plus their Sunday best. Obviously this group was wealthy, but never the less their dress reflect that time and custom.

If any hacker wants to read up on the topic, I recommend the book "Uncommon Friends: Life with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Alexis Carrel, and Charles Lindbergh" by James Newton.

Highly inspiring. I read it a few years ago, right after reading a biography on Edison.

To make a stab at a modern day equivalent: James Dyson, Cormac McCarthy, Jeff Bezos, and Obama go on a 2 week cross country road trip, taking just local highways.

Worth reading several times:

"My Life and Work" by Henry Ford

"Edison As I Know Him" by Henry Ford
