someone found a Kissel and donated it to the Wisconsin Auto Museum, and it's still as found. Well, it's also likely there are zero chances any parts exist to repair it, only 150 are thought to exist, and 25 of them are IN the museum

Anita King made history in 1915 when she became the first woman to complete a solo drive across America. 100 years later, her great nieces recreated the trip

Her great nieces went cross country in about 49 hours, in a Chrysler 200. Anita needed 49 days, some which were nothing more than getting unstuck from mud. I wonder if she innovated any ways for quickly getting unstuck?
