Jeffery Quad
The Jeffrey Quad was one of the most unusual and versatile motor vehicles ever built. “It drives, steers and brakes on all four wheels”, was the fitting slogan for the Quad, which in 1918 was the largest selling truck in the world During World War I many Quad Trucks were converted into ambulances and saw front line service.
