Colt Runabout

The Colt Runabout was an American Brass-era automobile built in Yonkers, New York, in 1907 by William Mason Turner.

It was a two-seater, with a long hood and short tail (where a pair of spare tires were mounted), characteristic of the period, and weighing in at 1800 lb. It was priced at US$1500, compared to US$650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout and the two-seat Ford Model C "doctor's car" at $850, but below the $1600 of the Oakland 40, and well below even American's lowest-priced model, which was $4250 (its highest was $5250).

The Runabout's 477-in3 (7819 cc) (4.5×5.0-inch, 114×127 mm) six-cylinder produced 40 hp (30 kW), and Colt claimed the car could reach 60 mph (100 km/h).
