Description
The American Underslung might be the sportiest of all brass era cars thanks to its unique design by Fred Tone, American's chief designer.
While most brass era cars were built with the frame over the suspension, Tone's design placed the frame under the suspension, giving the car its lower stance. This version is called a "Traveler" It's a 48 horsepower, five passenger car. The interesting thing about the American Underslung is it has forty-one by four-and-a-half inch tires. The tires are the largest diameter tires in the brass era car range.
This car was, and still is a wonderful, great tour car.
With thirty-two inch rims that's more than twice the diameter of most modern cars. Based in Indianapolis American Motors Company produced cars from 1905 to 1914.
With the lower center of gravity came a sportier look, better handling and improved safety from roll-overs at higher speeds which led the marketers at American to coin the slogan: "The Safest Car On Earth".
