In the early 20th century, most rural mail carriers relied on horses and sleds for mail delivery, but a few enterprising folks came up with kits to convert automobiles for snow duty. Given the rugged nature (they still use Model T pickups for general maintenance on the grounds of the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village) and ubiquity of the Ford Model T, it was only natural that the majority of the professionally manufactured kits would be aimed at Ford’s legendary T. It may be crude, but its bag-of-hammers simplicity will come in handy when the only tools you have to perform a repair are a pair of vice grips, a reel of baling wire, and the wisdom of the Inuit.Originally published at Car and Driver.
