1908 International Model 1-E Navigation
Manufactured by the U.S. farm machinery manufacturer International Harvester Company(IHC), this 'auto buggy' was closely based on a horse-drawn buggy. It grew from the demand in rural locations for an inexpensive horseless carriage. The vehicle is essentially a solid tired tall-wheeled buggy with a simple motor and transmission.
The idea originated with E.A. Johnston, an IHC employee, who created the 'auto buggy' concept in 1906 by adding one of the firm's engines to an existing buggy. The first prototype ran in October 1906. Production began in February 1907 at IHC's McCormick Works in Chicago. After the initial 100 buggies were produced, production shifted to the Akron, Ohio, works. This car was built there. It carries a 14-horsepower engine with a top speed of 20 mph.
A total of 6,000 'auto buggies' were built, in multiple body styles, before passenger vehicle production ceased in 1911.
