    1901 Haynes-Apperson Model A Navigation
    The Kokomo, Indiana-based Haynes-Apperson company produced motor carriages from 1989 through 1904. After 1904, the name changed to Haynes Automobile Company and would remain in existence until 1925. The Haynes-Apperson company was formed by Elwood P. Haynes and the Apperson brothers. Their partnership would dissolve in 1901; the Appersons would build a new plant and produce Apperson cars from 1902 to 1926.


    In 1897, the company produced three vehicles, followed by 5 the following year. By the close of the century, they were producing 30 per year. The figures continued to rise, as in 1900 they produced 192 cars.

    As the vehicles were produced over a century ago, they are extremely rare. This Model A Motor Carriage is powered by a two-cylinder, opposed, 8-horsepower engine, and the vehicle is controlled by tiller steering operation from the front seat. There are spindle-back seats which are common for those in carriages from that era. When new, the car sold for $1,500.

    The Haynes-Apperson cars were successful in endurance runs. In 1899, a Haynes-Apperson was driven from Kokomo to New York City and back. Elwood Haynes claimed that it was the first 1,000-mile automobile trip made in America (though the actual overall distance was less than 1,000 miles). The run was re-made in 1901 in 73 hours which Haynes claimed was a speed record.
