The 1904 ''Columbia Brougham'' was a Brougham model. Equipped with a Tonneau , it could seat 4 passengers and sold for US$ 3500. Twin electric motors were situated at the rear of the car. Similar ''Columbia Coupe'' Coupe s, ''Columbia Hansom'' Hansom s, were also produced for the same price and could hit 13 mph (21 km/h). A ''Columbia Victoria Phaeton'' Phaeton model was priced at US$ 3000 but was based on the same design. The ''Columbia Surrey'' and ''Columbia Victoria'' were more traditional horseless carriages. Both used the same power system as the larger cars, with twin electric motors, but cost much less at US$ 1500 and US$ 1600, respectively. At the bottom end of the range was the ''Columbia Runabout ''. Priced at just US$ 750, it used a single electric motor with an Exide battery and Concord springs. The ''Columbia Touring Car'' was an entirely different car. A Touring Car model, it used a Tonneau , seating 6 passengers, and resembled the touring models offered by many other companies at the time. Priced at US$ 4500 to $5000, it used a vertically-mounted Straight-4 , situated at the front of the car, producing 24 hp (17.9 kW). A 4-speed sliding transmission was fitted. The car weighed 3000 lb (1361 kg). One design innovation was the "false frame" supporting the engine. REFERENCES
