1923 What Car Do You Drive?
In 1923 Snap-On published a Catalog in 1923 “What Car Do You Drive”
My guess is Snap-On was looking for a sales and marketing tool to directly sell to car owners. The the list of these cars shows the huge number of brands and models, most of them no longer exist today. These pages are about Museums and old cars. What were these cars? Here are pages with places where you see old, rare and interesting cars
Here are about 70 car types (Companies) that Snap-on tracked in 1923. Of the 72 companies, 6 “names” still are sold, but through only 3 companies. It was a complex and booming market. The Ford Model T outsold all these companies. Ford was the company to beat. 90% plus failed to survive the test of time. Among the challenges were; The stock market crash (October 29, 1929) and the the depression, WWII and after WWII many of these companies were unable to recover. There was a huge consolidated of the auto market. Here are the companies Snap-On tracked in the 1920s
