Are you talking about a buckboard? That is what we called them when I was growing up in Western NYS. Many people were still using horses and wagons, of some type, back in the late 40's in that area. I was born in 1946 and still remember two uncles who were selling things from a horse drawn cart.

That 2 seater was considered a Deluxe Travel Machine back in the days. Not one owned by the poor. Farmers had a wooden one seater, such as the ones you saw on TV and Movie Westerns. The old style pick up truck.
Thank you for the info

The 2 seater would be fine, but for the top one I might just rather ride the horse. :-)

I met a guy some 20+ years ago, he was very old then. Who said he met Wyatt Earp. This was at the Orange County Fair in California. He said Wyatt Earp owned a Saloon in San Diego. But. It failed. because Wyatt didn't pay his bills. Wyatt died in the Los Angeles vicinity. Around 1929, I think. Of all the shootouts he was involved in, it is said he never so much as received a scrape, from an opponent's bullet.
I have heard much the same about Wyatt.
These people lived in much the very recent past. My mom was born in 1921 while Bat Masterson died in 1921. Frank James, of course, brother of Jesse, died in 1915. Wyatt did die in 1929 but his wife, Josephine, died in 1944, two years before I was born.
I see I have somewhat hijacked this thread and my apologies to the OP.

No need to, I love history.
