That's a cool video I've seen before. Shows how tough those old cars had to be since there weren't a lot of finished roads back then. I'll bet that Dodge hosed it off and sold it as a new car!

[Ridgeback]

That is pretty amazing. You just know that an X5 or ML wouldn't get down the first street in that film.

[cobraman]

Now that was cool ! Love when it tips over. How many vehicles now could do the same thing that old car did ?

[gtx6970]

That was a pretty neat video, I've not seen that one before.

Thanks

DO NOT,, try this with todays vechile..

[TooOld]

Thanks Carl , that was fun to watch .

Back when they built them tough.

[Foxer]

4WD? what's that??

[disabled modeler]

We own a 4x4 pickup old mid 80s and it would have trouble doing that....very cool.

[bbowser]

They don't build them like that anymore! Some pretty skillful driving also.

[uncle potts]

Them boys were just plain nuts! They drove that thing everywhere. When they tipped it over, then rolled it over on it's roof then back on its wheels, then drove it off, absolutely amazing.

[pharoah]

I wouldn't want to walk through that ,let alone drive a car through it. Amazing.

Try that with a Neon.

[Harry P.]

I really don't understand how those cars back then could do that! Two wheel drive, skinny little tires with no grip... yet they could go where a modern 4x4 would have trouble keeping up with them. Why is that??? How is is that a "low tech," simple as an anvil car back 100 years ago could outperform a modern vehicle?

[cobraman]

Maybe the narrow tires are the answer ?????

[JM485]

They definitely don't build them like that any more. Try that with your new truck and see what happens.

These cars were very light back in the day . The 20 and 22 inch wheels were common, this gives you good ground clearance. They were geared a bit like a farm truck , and they were built to be able to twist and move when they were drove.

Ram Tough !!!!

I suspect both those things came into factor.

The light weight combined with the skinny tires that tend to concentrate the weight in a small area (as opposed to distribute it), were probably what allowed those cars to do such amazing things.

Very fun video to watch. Thanks, Carl.

Nice , looks like an advertisement of the times but with no tv maybe a dealer promo for commercial fleet sales? Either way pretty impressive for the vehicle it is.

That's some serious mud, makes you appreciate solid pavement.
