I was just thinking about how the Model T was so admired and it was a really basic thing, that sold like hot cakes (why do hot cakes sell so well?) And you mentioned the Atomic Car (you brought it up) as a toy, and it being one of the first street legal almost real EVs (sot of like the Model T was in its day) and yet, it is MUCH more of a practical car than the Model T was. I agree, for it's time the Model T was a serious invention, unlike the Atomic Car which might be best described as "dumbing down" of a average car. But, I don't agree it is a toy. For someone working two less than minimum wage jobs supporting a husband and three kids, the Atomic car is a very viable option from a cost performance perspective. Might be a toy for you and me.
Agree on dreams...
