I stole this from a post on another site.
The post below reminded me of this.
I know a fellow with a Model T with the floorboard charcoal heater.
My Grandma and Grandpa had a 27 Model T and they said they would put a kerosene lantern on the floor and throw a blanket over their legs.
They never drove themselves but one of their 8 kids would drive them.
Grandpa was born in 1882 and Grandma in 1894.
My dad said if was really cold, they would drain the oil at night and put it near the fireplace all night and also boil water to put in the radiator.
If it was REALLY cold, they would put kerosene in the radiator to go somewhere as water would freeze going down the road since there was no water pump.
