I think this says something in favor of narrow wheels and tires.

That Dodge was quite a vehicle to preform that well but the driver deserves some applause for his skills for sure.
Was that guy Jpet in an earlier life? |

I love those old 20's era cars, I could easily see one as my next project
I bet my Willys could do that! Will you guy help me out when mine rolls over? |

those cars were pretty light and yes the very narrow tires helped a bunch reaching down through the soupy mud down to the hard pack below. Lots of mud that wouldn't help. Here in the Willamette Valley we have top soil that is many feet thick in places other places its only a few inches then you hit the river rock dirt mix. Get a few feet up the hills and you hit red clay. You can be stuck on red clay thats only a few inches deep because its so dense and becomes a bearing slurry.
I know I have gotten a 105,500 lb construction dump truck stuck in all of it over the last 11 years. sometimes I'm buried a foot+ deep other times just a few inches. And that DAMN trailer never helps push. |

had the differential been invented? I do not see that happening without a spool or Lincoln locker.
the really impressive thing was a rollover with no seat belts, that had to hurt. |

Well nuts. I had this thing all typed out and my computer shut down? Old computer just like it's owner. Anyway, nice film clip. Reminds me of the old promotional Model T movies Ford put out in the day. Seems I remember reading that at the beginning of the automobile era there was only a few hundred miles of "paved" or brick road in the U.S. and all of it was in cities? One might conclude that road conditions in this film were typical, at their worse, for those days? Thankful for the modern roads of today.

In a land with no roads, a man with all wheel drive would be king.
