Manual Convertible Top
Vinyl Interior1899 Autocar Replica that is ready for parades and shows! Powered by a 1939 Briggs and Stratton BR4 engine and a two speed manual transmission. Custom built by Lawrence Picknell of Kenosha Wisconsin, with pictures of the build process. This car is made to replicate one of the first "runabouts" Autocar made. Autocar founder Louis Semple Clarke was a successful mechanical engineer. Among Clarke's innovations were the spark plug for gasoline engines, a perfected drive shaft system for automobiles, and the first design of a useful oil circulation system. Clarke's insistence of placing the driver on the left hand side of the vehicle led to that standardization throughout most of the automotive industry worldwide, and consequently we drive on the right side of the road. The patented porcelain-insulated spark plug process was sold to Champion and remains the industry standard. Chain driven with a hand brake, hand pump for the fuel system, air tank, and crank start, this car really shows how far technology has come in a little over 100 years. This is a neat piece of history that would look great in a museum, or crusing the streets in parades! Located in our Chicago Showroom, which can be reached for additional information at 708-444-4488.
