One of the most popular cars of the period, given its level of performance, the Brush changed little during its production run from 1907 to 1912. Designed by Alanson P. Brush, formerly an engineer with Cadillac, the Brush was believed to have reached “the perfection of motor car construction.”

With frame and axles manufactured from oak, hickory and maple, the 20 horsepower, single-cylinder engine would propel the car to a promised speed of 35 miles per hour. The chassis rode on an 80-inch wheelbase. Prices were in the $500-range for the five body styles offered. In 1912, the five-year production ended.

In bright reddish/orange tones with black button-tufted upholstery and convertible top, this 1909 Brush Model B Runabout also features wood spoke wheels, wood-rimmed steering wheel, hand-crank, brass radiator shell, external handbrake, open fenders, plus additional brass detail traits – all adding up to a nice presentation for this jaunty open runabout.
