Colt Runabout
The Colt Runabout was an American brass era automobile, built in Yonkers, New York, in 1907,[1]
It was a two-seater, with the long hood and short tail (where a pair of spare tires were mounted) characteristic of the period,[2] weighing in at only 1800 lb (816 kg), and priced at US$1500,[3] putting it near the top of the price range.
The Runabout's 477 in3 (7819 cc) (4.5×5-inch, 114×127 mm) six-cylinder produced 40 hp (30 kW), and Colt claimed the car would hit 60 mph (100 kph), a considerable feat in 1907.
