Traveling in Style

The staff at Wagner Farm had a fun little treat today. Jim, one of our programmers, happens to have a fabulous hobby collecting antique automobiles and farm equipment, and he brought two of them by the farm to share with us. We all got a ride in his 1908 Buick Model F. This is a 5 passenger touring vehicle that sold for $1250 back in the day. If you wanted the top on it, that would have cost you an additional $100. The 2 cylinder engine is located underneath the drivers seat. Sitting in this car makes you appreciate just how special those "long drives in the country" were to those who could afford this luxury.
