1906 Columbia Mark XLVII Navigation
Columbia, while best known for their bicycles, began building electric cars in 1897 but later found gasoline cars more profitable. The company actually purchased the 'Selden patent for the gasoline automobile' and received royalties on each American-made gas-powered car produced - that is, until Henry Ford refused to pay, took them to court, and won. Columbia went bankrupt and, by 1913, was out of business.
The Mark XLVII was marketed to the most affluent and, at $4,700, cost more than a typical new home in 1906 - Columbia's Electric Runabout was a mere $850.
This restored Touring Car features a double chain drive, I-beam front axle and a 'drip sight' oil gauge mounted to the dashboard. The four-cylinder engine delivers 45 horsepower.
