Nice work on the wheels! -
Here are some earlier cars. 1891 Panhard, 1893 Duryea, 1895 Panhard Coupe, 1877 Seldon Horseless Carriage.
-
The wheels on the original car were wood with iron treads, just as on a horse draw wagon.wagon.
-
Four inches long, 2.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches high at the back of the seat.

1895 Duryea, 1/25 scale, resin casting manufactured by Genesis2Scale LLC, Tampa, FL in 2010. Very porous casting that took a lot of filling and sanding. This is the only model produced.

Here are my oldest survivors from 1953. Gowland and Gowland started manufacturing plastic models in 1/32 scale. I jumped right on these as I had been attempting to build the wood Hudson Miniatures. I stopped building them in 1954 when the prices went up to $1.25 per model which was the 1915 Ford Center Door - the last photo. At that time I was working after high school for $0.75 per hour. I packed them in a box that moved with members of my family until 1978 when they returned to me. In 2003 I started building models again and have a complete set of G&G vehicles.

The scales vary from 1/28 to 1/16. Hudson Miniatures (wood models), Tin Lizzy Crafts (wood), Missing Link, Revell, Fador Smallsters(wood), not necessarily in that order.

Thanks. I was a scout leader a long time ago. Also counselor at Camp Plymouth in Calvin Coolidge Council in Vermont.

They made 2 cylinder cars starting in 1907 and introduced 4 cylinders in 1910. Here is a photo of a 1910 IH roadster with "high wheels", actually wagon wheels.
