American (1902 automobile)

It was a light (1000 lb) two-passenger runabout with a water-cooled, 7-horsepower (5.2 kW) single-cylinder engine fitted under the seat, a planetary transmission and a single chain to the rear axle.

A 7-gallon fuel tank was fitted, which would give a driving range of about 150 miles (240 km).

The car came painted in "French carmine", with the running gear in "Valentine red", and the seat bench trimmed in black leather.

Dunham became general manager, looking to assemble as many cars as possible from parts ready.
