1902 Thomas Model 17 Navigation
This completely original, unrestored 1902 car is the oldest known Thomas in the world and is believed to be the only Model 17 still in existence. The 114-year-old upholstery, floor mats, and body are all in remarkable condition, and the engine has its original spark plugs, wires, and batteries. This Model 17 is fitted with a rear entrance, detachable tonneau - one of just two body styles offered by Thomas at the time. The car was owned for a long time by industrial magnate and philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, who was one of the original investors in the E.R. Thomas Motor Company. The only things not original to the car are the tires, the gas in the tank, and the water in the radiator.
