Their car was a light model sold as the 1904 ''Orient Buckboard''. It could seat 2 passengers and sold for just US$ 425, making it the lowest-priced automobile available. The vertically-mounted air-cooled single-cylinder engine, situated at the rear of the car, produced 4 hp (3 kW). A 2-speed transmission was fitted. The car weighed 500 lb (227 kg) and had a 100 mi (161 km) range, though the complete lack of any bodywork made it less than practical for a long journey. REFERENCES
