I think the reason they fell out of use was not so much the comfort factor, it's just that there was no place to hang your rifle in the rear window, and confederate flag bumper stickers just didn't stick!
But I could be wrong. ; )
Great shot, Pierre!

Nice shot, Pierre.... I think I'd love to ride in one and hear the clickety-clack of the horses hooves, we are so spoiled today!!
Thanks Angela.
At a much younger age, it would be fun.

Great photo Pierre! Any thrill in riding these is gone in the first 1/4 mile!

They did have one advantage, though--you didn't have to waste time clicking up seat belts, lol. A great shot, Pierre.
Yes, that most certainly would be an advantage.
Thank you Earl.

Lovely piece of nostalgia Pierre. I remember riding in my uncles on his diary farm many, many years ago.
Add another 'many' to the comment.
Thanks John.

Horse drawn buggies like this were the forunners of today's pickup trucks now so widely used.
Today we see them only as yard ornaments.
Imagine sitting for hours in this buggy driving down bumpy dirt roads!!!
