1904 Pope-Toledo Type IV Tonneau

Pope-Toledo cars were manufactured between 1903 and 1909. Out of a total of 15 cars that are known to exist today, this is the only Type IV Rear Entrance Tonneau. In 1904, the Pope Manufacturing Company was one of the larger car manufacturers, offering five primary lines of automobiles: the Pope-Toledo, the Pope-Hartford, the Pope-Tribune, the Pope-Waverley, and the Pope-Robinson as well as Pope motorcycles and Pope bicycles. Pope-Toledo hit the headlines in 1904 when Herbert Lytle piloted a 24-horsepower model to third place in the Vanderbilt Cup Race. Pope used this in period advertising, referring to this car as the 'Mile-a-Minute Car.' This Pope-Toledo placed First in Class at the 2005 Pebble Be4ach Concours d'Elegance and continues to be maintained in show condition.
