The Minerva was produced in Belgium and was a favorite of the royal families of many European countries and in the United States where its elegance and durability assured a faithful clientele. This model has a removable roof panel over the driver's compartment to make it into a true panel car for the chauffeur. Minerva began making automobiles in 1902. From 1910 all were equipped with the Knight double sleeve valve engine, prized by luxury automakers for its silence, smoothness, and flexibility, which could push this 5,300 pound car to 70 mph.
This car was a part of the Thomas Lester Collection recently acquired by Miss Chesney at the New York Waldorf Astoria Show.
