Toy Tonneau
Chassis Num: FZ224
Engine Num: 20076
 
Sold for $35,200 at 2007 Christies.
This 1910 Buick Model 10 Toy Tonneau is an A.A.C.A. National First Place Winner, awarded in 1937. It was offered for sale at the 2007 Christie's auction of 'Exceptional Motor Cars at the Monterey Jet Center.' It is finished in white with white upholstery, and powered by a four-cylinder engine, cast in pairs, with push-rod overhead valves, and over 22 horsepower. There is a two-speed and reverse planetary transmission and rear wheel mechanical brakes.

This vehicle does not have the top or the windshield but it does have the top mountings. It is basically a standard Model 10 with the addition of wicker basket and single spare fitted to the running board.

This vehicle has spent its recent years in a museum. At auction the car was offered without reserve and estimated to sell for $15,000 - $30,000. It was the first vehicle of the sale to cross the auction block and it found an enthusiastic owner who was willing to part with $35,200, including buyer's premium, to own this very early Buick.
