ABOUT AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY: In the 1920's and 1930's, automobile maintenance was typically performed by the owner. Draining the gas tank, placing it up on blocks for winter storage, filling the battery, oiling and lubricating, repairing the electrical wiring, repairing the tires, tuning the engine - - - were just some of the tasks a vehicle's owner was expected to perform.
