Cars in the Old West? I thought they rode horses! I spose it depends on how you define the Old West though … |

The Wild Bunch springs to mind. |

Cars in the Old West? Sure, why not? Do you think the horses all disappeared in 1899? "Old West" is a fairly indefinite term. How do YOU define when it ended? BTW, Pancho Villa died riding in one of these:

watch "Big Jake". Cars and horses and even a dirt bike! The horses win. |

"Old West" is a fairly indefinite term. How do YOU define when it ended? Presumably when it ceased being "Old"!! |

Presumably when it ceased being "Old"!! And that happens progressively over time, I take it? Just trying to follow the logic here. |

There was a TV series in 1971, called Bearcats!
link It only ran for one season and the network killed it. It was good. Storyline: Mercenaries Johnny Reach and Hank Brackett cruise the American Southwest in 1914 in their Stutz Bearcat in search of action and adventure. They often take dangerous assignments for pay; their fee is usually a blank check, and after the mission, they just fill in whatever amount they think the job was worth. |

Cf. Dashiell Hammett's Continental Op story "Corkscrew" -- which has one of the finest opening paragraphs in any short story ever. |

I guess so … (You noticed the exclamation marks too, I hope?) |

I guess so … Ummm…. OK (You noticed the exclamation marks too, I hope?) I did. Very much so, in fact. But I wasn't too clear on how the added emphasis changed the fundamentals of your argument, exactly. |

It's a nifty old car. Oughtta go well with Mexican Revolution games. Thanks, Tango. |

According to certain essays on pulp fiction writing and game design, some areas in the American west were still considered to be the "wild west" up to the 1920s… |

I wrote a blurb on this on my blog: link Long story short, there are some good "Westerns" that are set late enough to include the Model T. -Solo Sam |
