The angle-steel frame is carried on four semielliptic 

 springs. An adjustable stay rod on each side, from the 

 center of the frame down to the rear axle, maintains the 

 position of the axle. The wheelbase is 70 inches and the 

 tread 53 inches. Wooden-spoked wheels mounting 30-by- 

 3V2-inch clincher tires are provided, front and rear. These 

 wheels are fitted with ball bearings. The front axle is 

 tubular. 



The gasoline tank is beneath the driver's seat. To its 

 left is a mechanical oiler, belt-driven from a pulley on the 

 crankshaft of the engine, that has four outlets serving the 

 engine bearings and the cylinder wall. This oiler is not 

 original with this model but is a feature of the later engine 

 now installed in the car. 



The 4-passenger body is of wood, entrance to the ton- 

 neau being by a single door in the rear. The complete 

 tonneau is removable, leaving a 2-passenger runabout 

 when removed. No top or windshield is provided. Four 

 metal fenders are mounted above the wheels of the vehicle. 

 A step plate is provided for each side of the front seat, and 

 another plate serves the rear entrance. Brass kerosene 

 lamps on each side at the front, and one at the rear, pro- 

 vided illumination. A bulb horn is attached to the steer- 

 ing column. The vehicle Weighs approximately 1,350 

 pounds. 



Wicker baskets (USNM 310913), presented by Charles 

 P. Ashley in 1934, are suspended above the rear fenders on 

 each side of the tonneau. These are authentic accessories 

 of the period and served as additional storage space when 

 touring with a heavily loaded car. 



In May 1954 four new tires and inner tubes, contributed 

 by Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., were installed on the car, and 

 the old ones that were on the car when it was presented to 

 the Museum were discarded. In the summer of 1955 the 

 car was thoroughly cleaned, otherwise overhauled from the 

 standpoint of appearance, repainted in red, and reuphol- 

 stered in tufted black leather by the Antique Auto Shop of 

 Northfield, N. J., through the courtesy of the Cadillac 

 Motor Car Division of General Motors Corporation.
