Reply to comment by oDDmON in TIL that in 1947, U.S. House Minority Leader Sam Rayburn was gifted a 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 62 from 142 Democratic congressmembers and 50 Republican congressmembers. Each congressmen donated $25 to circumvent Rayburns personal rule of not accepting gifts more than $25. by FranklinDRoosevelt32

In the 19-teens, the Ford Model-T cost around $400, back before financing was available, it had to be a cash purchase.

The first iteration had two forward speeds and a reverse.
