1903 Waltham Orient Navigation
The Orient Buckboard was produced by the Waltham Manufacturing Company of Waltham, Massachusetts, between 1902 and 1908. The model cost $500 in 1903 and was advertised as 'The lightest and simplest automobile in the world.'
This Orient Buckboard features a red-painted chassis and is believed to have been refurbished prior to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Foundation's purchase in 1961. A red-painted fuel tank is mounted behind the seat along with a Neverout kerosene lamp, and an Adams & Westlake 'X-Ray' acetylene lamp is fitted up front. The air-cooled 35 cubic-inch single-cylinder engine is geared to the rear axle and was rated at four horsepower when new. Braking is handled by a single, cable-operated rear unit.
This example currently resides in Collection 21 in Northern Kentucky.
