1909 Autobug Horseless Carriage
Does anyone know where I can get ANY information about this beast? I
have a friend who has one in storage and would like to market it but doesn't know where to start. It was made in Norwalk Ohio and has a two cylinder engine. I have looked and looked on the web and can find nothing; she believes it to be one of three in existence. Thanks! |

Vicki -- The Autobug was indeed built in Norwalk, Ohio. It was made for
only two years, 1909-1910. It was a highwheeler, which means it had carriange type, tall spoked wheels. The car has a stationary rear axle to which the engine and related machinery were fitted. The drive featured sleeves with bearings upon which the wheels turned. The engine was a two cylinder, 22 horsepower which was typical of the period. The body styles were a runabout, surrey, touring and delivery. The company evolved into the Norwalk Motor Car Company in 1910.
