Bennett buggy

A Bennett buggy was a term used in Canada during the Great Depression to describe a car which had its engine, windows and sometimes frame work taken out and was pulled by a horse.

[1][2][3] The Canadian term was named after Richard Bennett, the Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935, who was blamed for the nation's poverty.

During the boom years of the 1920s, many Canadians had bought cheap vehicles for the first time, but during the depression, many found they did not have enough money to operate them.

The increased poverty played an important role, as farmers could not buy gasoline.

When these provinces went into a deficit, they increased these taxes, making gas even harder to buy.
