The only model was a small two-seater. A two-cylinder engine with 2 HP power drove the rear axle. The exhaust was designed to warm the driver and passenger's feet in winter. The solid rubber tires are remarkable. One vehicle was registered for a 1000 mile drive but ultimately did not participate in the drive.
