1914 Simplex Model 50 Navigation
The Simplex Automobile Co. was formed in 1904 in New York City, NY, and began with the production of about 120 S & M Simplex automobiles before Smith & Mabley (S&M) went out of business in 1907. It was taken over by textile importer Herman Broesel who formed the Simplex Automobile Company. During the Broesel era, production was 235 to 250 automobiles.
This vehicle was restored in the 1960s and retained most of its original parts including the body, engine, and chassis. It is fitted with a four-cylinder, 539 CID engine which produces 50 horsepower.
Production of the Simplex automobile ceased in 1917 and they evolved into the Crane-Simplex Automobile Company which switched over to the production of aircraft engines.
