1924 Moon 6-50

Launched in St. Louis in 1905, the Moon enjoyed its best sales year in 1924 and 1925, when more than 7,500 cars were sold in both years. Although they were assembled cars, the Moons were fine, well-built automobiles.

They featured a Rolls-Royce-type radiator design that contributed to the car's smart look. The model 6-50 was the mid-price Moon, powered by a six-cylinder engine that developed 50 horsepower (hence, the 6-50 designation).

The sporty two-passenger roadster shown here sold for $1,295. The last Moon was built in 1929, as the company was trying to build the short-lived Ruxton and Windsor automobiles.
