The Scripps-Booth Motor Company produced vehicles from 1912 through 1917 before becoming a part of the Chevrolet model. The name 'Scripps-Booth' could be found on the grille of the vehicles for a number of years, ending in 1922.
From 1915 through 1919 the standard colors were dark blue or light gray. The chassis and fenders were black. The Houk Quick Demountable wire wheels were standard and painted in a light cream color. Changing tires was easy so they were often popular with the ladies. Because of this, the company advertised heavily in woman's magazines.
The Scripps-Booth Vehicles were one of the first to carry a spare tire and wheel.
The example shown has wire wheels, running boards, and curved fenders. The windshield is different from others of its time in that it is curved.
