1909 Pullman Model K news, pictures, and information
In 1906, Colonel Samuel Baily (the owner's grandfather) purchased the Pullman Carriage Works. The following year he converted the plant to Automobile Manufacturing. Although he never drove an automobile himself (for fear they would catch on fire and explode), he demanded his car be, 'as powerful and reliable as a Pierce Arrow.' He proved this in 1908 when he hired a crew to drive a Pullman from the factory in York, PA, to San Francisco and back. They succeeded in just over one month.
This Model K has been in the Grundy family for 40 years, restored in the 1970s, and although driven regularly, it has been carefully preserved.
