Scientific American has a great pictorial online featuring some of the best and most noteworthy automobiles of 1907.  My favorite is the Cadillac Coup featured below.  My how times have changed.

I can certainly see myself tooling around in a Caddy like this, the wind buffeting my hair as I do a cool 22 MPH, my scarf blowing behind me as I startle horses and humans alike.

    Hehehe. I can certainly see you too, Ars, and it’s cracking me up! LOL.

    Great link, I love old cars and I don’t think I’ve ever seen older than those. Wow!

    Harrie! How’ve you been? I’d love to get my hands on one of the above cars. Maybe I can review one. Hmmm.

  3. Harrie Says:

    I’ll run get your scarf for you, I’m coming too! LOL.

    I’ve been fine, thanks, though extremely scatterbrained. I’m talking extremely, ha!

    Very interested in Jonathon and the convention.

    Still fooling around and having a ball on Linux. Wondering if I should get Acronis OS Selector and how easy it would be for me, as I need easy. Want to install lots and lots of distros, you know?

    Cool to see SamuelDr on here, too.

    But I’m all off topic, I do love those cars! My Dad would have loved seeing them.

    Ugly car, definitely can say that I’m not a fan of old cars. But anyway thank you for the photo.

  5. Darrell Jahn Says:

    The old cars look very cute and funny and it is also a part of our history, so it is interesting indeed.

    I think that even clutch and the gearbox in that car was not a proper one, like used in today’s cars. But this is history and this car is really exclusive.

    This is a single-cylinder Model M coupe, derived directly from the prototype commissioned by Henry Leland,for himself,just over a year earlier,from the Detroit coach builders Seavers and Erdman.This car proved to be a very popular model among doctors and traveling salesmen and at $1200,it was the most expensive car then.
