By 1902, his company, Waltham Manufacturing, was producing its own engines for their Orient car. During the first year of production, around 50 examples were sold. The following year, the Buckboard was introduced and would remain in production until 1908. As the 1900s progressed, so did the number of bodystyles offered by the Waltham Manufacturing company, including three-passenger cars, tonneau, surrey, and delivery vehicles.
The Buckboard was a simplistic and minimalistic vehicle that was advertised as 'The Cheapest Automobile in the World.' The price was $375 and the single-cylinder engine offered four-horsepower, capable of carrying the car to speeds up to 30 miles per hour.
