According to our reference books, the Autocar Type XXI, rated at two tons, rode a 97-inch wheelbase and took its power from an 18.1-hp opposed two-cylinder engine with a three-speed transmission and, uncommon for a solid-tired truck from this age, shaft drive. For that reason, we say that this 1912 Autocar Type XXI omnibus will not be setting any speed records, with or without passengers in the back. From the description:

"Chassis and running gear rebuilt and in fully operable condition with original engine. Original coach constructed by one of the oldest, respected builders of the period, selectively restored and authentically refinished. Vehicle comes with period manuals, functional accessories to include clock, running lanterns, traffic bells, horns, main light, etc. The body features retractable, original beveled glass windows and trimmed bench seating. Comes with full documented provenance dating back to late 1940s, owned by Henry Austin Clark Jr. of NYC. Autocar and body provenance. A well preserved and running vehicle of Americana that has survived the last 100 years."
