This 1904 Cameron is an Experimental Light Touring car with coachwork by the United Motor Corp. of Pawtucket, RI. Power is from an air-cooled 3-cylinder engine displacing 116.1 cubic inches and offering around 12 horsepower. When new, it sold for $800. For its era, the car was a nimble performer and rode on a narrow tread, and had a low weight of about 800 lbs. The Cameron was guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase against all defects in material or workmanship.
The 1904 Cameron came in three styles in 1904. The first was a two-seater Runabout priced at $650. The second, with a detachable tonneau (which made it into a four-seater), sold for $750, and the last with a 'canopy' (surrey style with side curtain), sold for an extra $50. Some of the unique and unusual features of a car this old are: left-hand drive, shift lever on the steering column, narrow treat wheels of either 45 or 54 inches, riding on a 76-inch wheelbase, and weighing only 700 pounds. The car was claimed to be the 'greatest hill climber on earth' - speeds from three to twenty-five miles per hour.
Although cars could be ordered in any color desired, the standard finish was automobile red, beautifully stripped with gold or indigo black trimmed in gold with tufted or plain upholstery to match.
The car was manufactured by the James Brown Textile Machinery Co. of Pawtucket, RI, and was sold by United Motors Corp. The designer was Everett S. Cameron and his younger brother Forrest, both of Brockton, MA, where they had been designing bicycles as teenage boys.
