This Simplex-Crane Model 5 Touring Car wears coachwork by C.R. Kimball & Co of Chicago, IL. Power is from an L-Head six-cylinder engine displacing 563.7 cubic inches and offers 46 horsepower.
Formed from the merger of the sporty Simplex and the Crane Motor Car Co., the Simplex Crane Model 5 is a high-quality automobile that was extremely expensive for its time. Using a long-stroke six-cylinder engine and shaft drive, this car was a total departure in concept and design from the chain drive and T-head of earlier Simplex models.
