And just imagine the state of the roads they had to drive on in 1930!
Though, route 66 was only 4 years old at the time.
 
If one wants to neck pain for the rest of life is certainly good! Those were really tough guys. Incredible!

Interesting , a Missouri plate . Did they drive forward to New York , then go backwards to Los Angeles & back to New York , then home to Missouri ? Still , quite a feat even at that time .
 
The 29 roadster looks pretty rough for being only one year old. I guess driving backwards is kind of hard on cars!

Tried that in a snow storm in the 70's with a Pontiac tempest that lost all forward gears in the ******.I got stopped an got a ticket for it. Tried to explain it to NO avail. I was only about 1 mile from home on city streets. I laugh still on that one. ken ct.
 
I had read about this years ago. For some reason, I thought they had devised a way to face rearward without killing their necks. From the looks of the pictures, they had permanent neck pains. OUCH.
