It always intrigues me that vintage cars made no attempt whatever to avoid dust intake. Here in 1929 a mere 3 1/2% of total roads were sealed, and nearly all in urban areas. fully 1/3 were unmetalled. It was not a backward motoring country but registrations per 100 persons second only to North America and far above UK. Traffic less and speeds lower so less clouds encountered. But rebores at 30,000 were not uncommon.
Incidentally we epxerience and judge vintage cars in circumsatnces very untypical of their time.
