The Tourist car was the best-known West Coast make of the era. These Tourist cars used 2- and 4-cylinder water-cooled engines, and were mainly five-seater touring models. The smaller engines of the Tourist cars had a friction transmission while a sliding-gear type was employed with the 4-cylinder engine and the Tourist car was priced at $1.700.
This Tourist car was a 3-wheeler with a V-twin air-cooled 7hp engine. The engine of the Tourist car was in the front transmission to the rear wheels being by shaft and chains. Open two- or three-seater bodies were used on Tourist cars during the first years, while later versions Tourist cars were also available with closed bodies.
