1909 Keystone Sixty-Six

The roadster, a popular vehicle style in early twentieth-century America, is characterized by its lack of windows and the ability to add a canopy to the chassis' top. Generally, roadsters were affordable, everyday cars designed for the middle class and the least expensive models sold by manufacturers. The 1909 Keystone Six-Sixty Roadster was not designed for everyday use, however. It is an early racing vehicle.

The minimal bodywork and lack of fenders emphasize it is designed for speed. With the production of racing cars, motorsports quickly gained popularity in the Únited States.

C.P. Munch and R.M. Allen manufactured this particular roadster from 1909 until 1910, when the plant north of Pittsburgh in DuBois, Pennsylvania, closed. The high-powered Keystone Six-Sixty was priced at $2,250, which was very expensive for its time.
