1907 Premier Model 24

Right out of our Titanic Museum display, representing the cars from that era. We chose this car because of it's quality and beauty, it is the type of car that is a pleasure to look at. This 1907 Premier Model 24 Runabout is a prime example from this rarely seen marque that continues to benefit from an older, high-quality concours-level restoration. Through the years, it has enjoyed occasional use while under the care of a noted Brass Era automobile collector and enthusiast. Presented in captivating livery including a Cream body finish with Black highlights, this 2/3-Passenger Runabout is an evocative early sporting car, powered by a handsomely detailed liquid-cooled, 24-horsepower 'T-Head' 4-cylinder engine. Beautiful, period-correct brass accessories include a pair of serialized Neverout brass and copper headlamps with a Prest-O-Lite acetylene generator mounted at the rear of the Premier. Seating for three includes two individual seats up front and a solitary “Mother-in-Law” seat at the rear. Other wonderful features include a furniture-quality dash and coil box, leather splash aprons, a bulb horn, and evocative monacle windscreen.

Following some light recommissioning, the Premier has proven itself a formidable machine, with performance that belies its modest 24-hp factory rating. On the road, it punches above its weight, with 50+ mph easily attainable with plenty more on tap provided the space and gumption. The recipient of the HVA (Historic Vehicle Association) Award at the 2014 French Lick Concours d'Elegance, this 1907 Premier Model 24 Runabout remains exceptionally well-preserved and suitable for continued show appearances. A decidedly sporting early American automobile this marvelous Premier will provide an ideal entry for many touring and concours events as desired.
