1917 Model T driving around in several feet of snow. This Model T has an accessory Livingood four-wheel-drive attachment, otherwise it is stock. It is dressed up to look like a WWI vehicle.
Jesse Livingood is sometimes credited with inventing 4WD. His first patent was issued in 1912.
He started selling conversion units in 1914. There is no evidence that the US government used 4WD T's in WWI, that I can find.
