This diminutive automobile is part of the fascinating history of automobiles in America. Originally conceived in Great Britain, migrating to America, with ties to the "war effort" in the 30's and 40's and designed and engineered by some of the greatest names in the industry.
This is the "American Bantam", not the Austin, manufactured in Butler Pennsylvania! Whether you have a collection, one or two or not, this is history. Weighing in at just 1,296 pounds and a wheel base of only 75 inches, the 50 cubic inch 4 cylinder engine produces 22 horsepower and with it's 3 speed transmission can propel you to a blistering top speed of 50 miles per hour. It is one of 800 produced. History.
