Meet a truck that's a real throwback to the early days of driving.
If you want to see exactly how much driving has changed over the past century, take a look at the 1916 Autocar coal truck featured on a recent episode of"Jay Leno's Garage."in Leno's personal collection, this truck is a true throwback to the early days of driving. It has no battery , so all you get are acetylene lights and a hand crank. It rolls on wooden wheels with solid vulcanized rubber tires, with holes in the rear tires for spikes for winter driving.
The engine sits under the seats, which fold up for access. The simplistic design means the main maintenance task is adding oil, the level of which is checked by turning spigots to see how much comes out. Getting the oil up to temperature can be difficult because of the engine's slow operating speed, Leno said, but that also means overheating is unlikely.Suspension consists of beefy-looking lead springs, while mechanical brakes handle deceleration.
