CE QU'EN DIT LE VENDEUR

1910 OTTO  Manufactured by the Otto Gas Engine Works of Philadelphia, PA, these cars paid great homage to Nicholas August Otto, the inventor of the gasoline engine. Although considered to be handsome and well built, Ottoís were manufactured for just three years. These cars are extremely rare, with only 2 examples known to exist in the world today. This particular example once belonged to an Otto Gas Engine Works director. Sometime in the 1950ís, the car was sold to the Midlands Motor Museum in England, who kept the car until 1988 when it was purchased by a private collector in India. The car was then used and displayed throughout Europe and Africa, and still carries a 2000 safety inspection sticker from Kenya. This early 1910 roadster has undergone an older yet comprehensive restoration. The attractive cream finish with red pinstripe accents shows wear from usage and age but is in very nice overall condition. The red leather interior has excellent patina and gives the car great character. The wood artillery wheels and trim on the car are well restored and in fabulous condition. The big 35 horsepower four cylinder runs very well and is mated to a three speed manual transmission. The car is in very sound mechanical condition, and is just a joy to drive. A unique example of American automobile history, this extremely rare early brass car will continue to be welcomed at events and shows worldwide. $84,500.00
