  1. I asked "Google" about Harvester Auto Buggy and this is what I found. This looks like a pretty good match to "Grandpa's car. I guess it was made between 1907 & 1911. Thanks everyone - Now we know what my wifes mother was tooling around town in. (She is the one in randma's lap). Fred J. Auto Buggy[edit] Auto Buggy Supplied with a pair of bench seats to carry four passengers it was powered by an engine set beneath the car's body, a two-cylinder horizontally opposed air cooled design that produced 18-20 horsepower. It had two forward gears and one reverse gear with a chain drive system to the large "high-wheel" wagon-style rubber-shod wheels at the back.[2] Its high wheels and wide stance gave it the stability and ground clearance to cope with poor roads. Accessories such as a canvas top were optional.[1] Buyers found it tough and reliable. The many widespread International Harvester dealers made service easy to find.[1] The Buggy was considered a car and in 1912 when IHC decided to stick just with trucks it was dropped.[1]
  2. Thanks for the info. From the photos, I think "Grandpas Car" is the same builder as the car that Keiser31 posted a photo of. With that lead- I found the Holsman Car Site - and as noted by oldcarfudd, all Holsman vehicles were tiller steered. So far, I haven't found any real info for International or IHC.
  3. Hello all, Can anyone help identify Grandpa's car? This is the whole family, Grandpa, Grandma, and their oldest children. Fred
