Description

Step into the bustling world of early‑20th‑century motoring with this richly illustrated reference that catalogs every automobile and commercial wagon available on American streets in 1907. The volume lists domestic and foreign makes side by side, from well‑known brands like Ford and Cadillac to the more obscure steam and electric models, offering concise specifications such as price, engine size, wheelbase, and seating capacity.

Beyond the raw data, the book captures the optimism of an era when gasoline cars under $1,000 promised personal freedom, while robust business trucks hinted at a new age of freight transport. Its clear layout and detailed diagrams let listeners picture the sleek piano‑box bodies, the modest wooden frames, and the intricate gearing of the period’s machines. Whether you’re a vintage‑car enthusiast or simply curious about the technological landscape of the pre‑World War I era, this directory provides a vivid snapshot of the motor world as it raced toward modernity.
