Vehicle Detail

Left behind in the dust bin of time are a few examples of the Early Motor Horseless Carriage. Among these, is this one of a kind hand crafted turn of the century carriage, the 1903 “Warren”. Not a replica of a FORD, but built to full scale in size and horsepower to the first production 1903 Ford. The “Warren” Runabout was built using high quality birch, white and red oaks and other hard woods. Much of the brass is original to the period such as the bulb and reed horn, original steering wheel, rein rail trim, driving lights { now electrified} and kerosene tail light an original from the 1909 Model T. At this 102 nd year, the tail light is in, not perfect but near original condition burning brightly. An award winner; the “03” Warren was judged First Pick Best of show in the Beef “O” Brady Classic Car competition in March 2011. This Horseless Carriage’s motive power is a new 9 HP Tecumseh industrial engine with electric start mounted on a stiff under carriage using 1” by 2” steel box rails. Full range forward speed control from standing to about 10.5 MPH uses an industrial Hydrostat variable speed transmission driving to both rear wheels thru an intermediate differential transfer axle. Reverse is foot pedal operated producing a smooth secure stop. Front wheel alignment accommodates toe- in and camber adjustments. Caster is a fixed element of front axle design. Final drive power to both rear wheels is transferred through tension adjustable No. 50 stainless roller chain. Driver control is provided by a steering wheel atop a solid brass column, hand lever throttle, two foot pedals and a hand operated Pullman lever parking /hill hold brake. Chassis and the wheels, with their 22 quarter inch steel spokes, are all powder coated, oven baked to a shiny hard finish. The 26” X 3” tires are the much appreciated Kendra brand. The “Warren” has been a real head turner at local events. This vehicle was not intended for general transportation on public roads and streets except for parade use. The purchase price includes a new single axle transport trailer especially set up for this Motor Carriage with loading ramp and winch. Various photos are available on request…
