    During World War Two, we saw the creation of one of America’s most beloved motors, the Army Truck, well known now as the Jeep. Though now we find Jeep models here and there on the market, out for consumer use, the Jeep was once intended to be a military workhorse that was designed to haul troops around, help the wounded and much more. The story essentially began in the late 1930s when the US military were searching for a light vehicle that was rugged and could travel over some of the roughest terrain.

    2) The Cheapest Ford Was Sold for £750

    Everybody knows that Ford has always been renowned for affordable cost, but we never really understand just how cheap its cars were back in the day. The company’s first car, the Model A typically sold for around £750; and since it had a 2-cylinder engine that enabled it to reach a maximum speed of 30mph, at the time, that was a bargain and a half.
