It was specified with 25/30 hp and made 25 hp . It drove the rear axle via a three-speed gearbox and a cardan shaft . The chassis had a wheelbase of 274 cm and the 142 cm track width customary for American cars of the time. The structure was called the Boulevand Roadster . It was a three-seat roadster .
