History Note:  "La Société des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux, commonly known as the Forty and Eight, is a nonprofit organization of U.S. veterans headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Each car had 40*8 stenciled on the side, which meant that is could carry 40 men & 8 horses.  The cars were known as "forty and eights" and viewed by the men as a miserable way to travel. The new organization was thus called the Forty and Eight in an attempt to make light of the common misery they had all shared."
