The same year, Gaylor introduced a very light model with friction drive, sold as the Orient Buckboard.

The vertically mounted air-cooled single-cylinder engine, situated at the rear of the car, produced 4 hp (3.0 kW).

The car had tiller steering, weighed 500 pounds (230 kg) and had a 100 mi (160 km) range, though minimal springing and the complete lack of any bodywork made it less than practical for a long journey.

In the next years, it was offered in several models (including a diminutive delivery car), got an improved suspension, steering wheel, two chains instead of one belt to transmit the power to the rear wheels, and an optional 8 hp (6.0 kW) two cylinder engine.

[1] More conventional cars came in 1905 with front-mounted, water cooled inline 4-cylinder engines of 16 or 20 hp (12 or 15 kW) and chain drive.

These power-plants were of proprietary design and consisted of four single cylinders mounted on a common crankcase.

Little developed a small runabout with a 10 hp (7.5 kW) V-twin engine and friction drive.

Shortly before production started in 1908, WMC got into financial trouble and to avoid bankruptcy, their bank negotiated with Charles Metz.
