American Bantams featured an 747cc inline-four engine which produced 22 horsepower. The cars were capable of 50 MPH while also achieving 40+ MPG consistently, which later led enthusiasts to refer to the American Bantam as 'America's First Economy Cars.' The styling of the cars resembled smaller versions of Chevrolets of the period, with Stutz style hood vents. Bantams were minimalistic yet useful, and sold for about $500. Numerous body styles such as the woody station wagon, delivery van, coupe, and pickup were offered in addition to this Roadster being offered at auction.

Just 6000 examples of the American Bantam were produced before production ceased in 1941.

The Roadster Bantam offered here has been the subject of a total restoration and runs as it should. A fun and unique little ride.
