Description
The original catalog description provided by the Ford Motor Company reads as follows: Chick Lather's Vanities of 1924, Part Three. “Somebody said that it couldn’t be done, But he, with a chuckle, replied that Maybe it couldn’t, but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he tried. So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin on his face. If he worried, he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he…did it.” “Somebody scoffed ‘Oh, you’ll never do that, at least no one has ever done it,’ But he took off his coat and he took off his hat, And the first thing we knew he’d begun it. With a lift of his chin and the bit of a grin, Without any doubting or quit it, He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he…did it.” Edgar Guest. [1924]
