American Underslung

[StanleyRegister 241]

This photo has been misidentified on eBay and elsewhere as showing a scene in Mineral Wells, TX.  Probably due to misinformed Google searching - there was an "Upham Gas Co" in Mineral Wells, but it didn't have that name until 1950.  This shot was taken on the west side of Public Square in Mount Vernon, OH.

I cannot thank all of you enough. The Underslung is something that has captivated me for years. 
Such a unique car!

In the Upham Gas Co. photo, the car on the right is a Thomas Flyer.

We didn't have this car posted in picture, so I thot, why not.

Let's see, I'm thinking this one is 28' 6" long. Looks like its been stretched.

Here's another roadster picture.

 

 

It goes well with this one.

From the Vintage Motoring Blog, this is said to be the 1908 40 horse.

The picture is said to have been taken outside the plant on Meridian Street and is said to come from American Car Company factory photos. Who knew?

 

Notice the difference in fender design.

1914 American Type 666.  The photo was taken at the Ameila Island Concours in 2014.  This is one of the last cars built and was in the Crawford Auto Museum for years.  It is currently in private ownership.

The top photo is a 1913 American Underslung Scout.  This was the smallest car in American line and was about the size a Model T Ford.  The lower photo is a 1907/08 50 hp roadster.  Same as the red and green Deemer cars.

This picture didn't post, so, I took it down.

This one is nice.

 

 

I keep seeing pics of these cars out in all kinds of driving conditions. They evidently were very well adapted to road conditions of the time.

Winter is almost here, I'd like a Regal Colonial Coupe. Bob 

 

When the term "horseless carriage" is used, that truly a carriage that has an engine and steering wheel.
