Okay, you have to go back to 1903 for a while. Which car/truck are you going to take and why?
Remember the roads and fuels you have to deal with.
I'll take a four-wheel drive Ford Ranger with the V-6

I would find me a Steam truck to take back, the only consumables they use are water, coal or wood. I think I would have to take a large supply of ammo for my carry gun, and boxes to put all the guns I would buy. There were a lot of very good firearms sold in hardware stores then - If I could go back to 1903, I would stop by the roaring 20's on the way back, and pick up a Thompson, and a BAR. Both sold for less than $150 back then.

I would take a big dump truck, a 14 wheel triaxle, with plow attachments and tire chains. I could blaze trails through the snow, haul wood,coal and whatever in the body. Sheez, I could live in the dump body if I had a good tarp.
If the local rich dude needed stone to build a house I could haul it for him in a fraction of the time it took 100 yrs. ago.
I could plow fields with it, if I could drag an old fashioned plow.
I could carry livestock with a good ramp or dock. I could make a fortune hauling garbage out of the city. The possibilties are endless!!!

Actually I read a story when Henry Ford and the others was starting this company (It was his third) He had trouble getting all the finacing he needed. So they went to one of the maiden aunts of one of the principal investors. She invested $1,000.00 I forget how much she was worth by the end of the model T era when Henry bought back all the stock.

On second thought
Personally I would like to first go back to early 80s or whenever it was, get stock in Microsoft when it first came out.....come back to this date cash in, then go back to the late 60s or early 70s.....I would love to see a Shelby or Boss, or Mach 1 on that show room floor.....what was it like old-timers?
........And you can guarantee I would be coming home with some 10-20 cars and trucks

As 'There Will Never be Another Henery Ford' book says, he was a billionaire long before WWII made him much richer. The taxation back then allowed him to make over a Million dollars a day. Today, taxation would prevent it.
