1916 American LaFrance Speedster Navigation
This 1916 American-LaFrance Speedster is powered by a 9.4-liter T-head six-cylinder engine with double chain drive. It has a Speedster body similar to the Type 35 Raceabout with seating for two and finished in yellow and black. The suspension, chassis, large-diameter spoked wheels, and dual rear-mounted spares are done in the same livery as the body, and the interior is done in black leather. Period-correct accessories include the large Gray & Davis nickel headlamps, a single rear Saxon light, and an American-LaFrance-badged Moto-Meter atop the radiator.
