Half of the cars on American roads in 1918 were Model Ts. The car in that year was the low hood style, with a wheelbase of 100 inches and a standard track of 56 inches, a width so close to the usual railway gauge that many were fitted with flanged wheels and used as small rail vehicles. During the First World War the Allies used the car as a staff car, ambulance, light truck and patrol car. The ambulance version proved well suited to the combat areas.
