MotoeXotica Classic Cars is very pleased to offer a true horseless carriage. this 1907 Jewell Model D Runabout equipped with a 8 hp. two-cycle single-cylinder engine and two-speed planetary transmission.

The red body is in overall good condition. There are no glass panels. as was common on early 20th century vehicles. This model also lacks lights but it has a pair of original front lamps that can be lighted with kerosene. This runabout rolls on Firestone 28x3 tires surrounding black spoke metal wheels.

The body panels are solid and in good shape. The all original soft top is in good condition for being over 110 years old! The engine bay is tidy and all the hard to find components seem to be there. That black. half-padded bench seat is in overall good condition. There is no carpet but a wood floor. There is no instrument panel but the car has a four-spoke. wood rim steering wheel. a change from other vehicles of that era. which were tiller-controlled. The wheel has two ancillary stalks. a single floor pedal and the vehicle's gearshift lever is good shape.

Headquartered in Massillon. Ohio. the Forest City Motor Car Company formed in 1905 and lasted until 1909. making about 1. 00 models. In 1907. the Model D was sold for US$600. It was equipped with exterior a single-cylinder. two-cycle engine with eight horsepower. The transmission had two speeds. forward and reverse. The car also came with lamps and a storm front and tools.

In 1905. five Cleveland. Ohio businessmen joined together to form the Forest City Motor Company. playing on their city's longtime nickname: The Forest City. They built a prototype car and began seeking investors. The best source of finance. however. came from Massillon. Ohio. about 50 miles to the south. so the Forest City Motor Company left the Forest City and. in 1906. began manufacturing a car called the Jewell. A single-cylinder high-wheeler with rope drive. it had a runabout body that could be tilted upward to access the engine.

Sales were somewhat lackluster. so the car was updated in design and along the way renamed as “Jewel. ” By 1908. a four-cylinder Rutenber-engined car. of fairly conventional front engine-rear drive design. was introduced. This improved model was built through 1909. by which time new investors Herbert Croxton and Forrest Keeton had changed the company name to Croxton-Keeton Motor Company. Under its auspices. they built Croxton-Keetons and later Croxtons until 1914.

This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis. Missouri. It is sold as is. where is. on a clean and clear. mileage exempt Kansas title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
