This 1914 American Underslung Model 644 Four-Passenger Touring car has been given a restoration. For decades, it was part of the Harrah Auto Collection in Reno, Nevada. After William Harrah's death, the car was sold during the famous liquidation auctions held in the mid-1980s. The Underslung later became part of the Matt and Barbara Browning collection. The present owner acquired the car in 1999 at the Browning Collection Auction. The current caretaker has installed a distributor ignition system, an upgraded braking system with hydraulic components, and a more modern carburetor. The result of these upgrades has made the car more suitable for touring.
This car was built towards the end of the American Underslung's production run. It has the Teetor-Hartley six-cylinder power plant mated to a four-speed gearbox. The 'T-Head' engine was rated at 60 horsepower and equipped with twin-plug ignition and an electric self-starter system. The chassis measures 132 inches long, and it rides on 38 x 4/12' tires. It has nickel-plated lighting equipment and a four-passenger body.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2015
