One of A Kind, Hand Made Brass Era Style Horseless Carriage!nbsp; The 1985 Star is a one of a kind, handbuilt masterpiece of automotive craftsmanship. This unique brass-era horseless carriage reconstruction is the product of over three years of full-time, painstaking labor.nbsp; The attention to detail in terms of engineering, authenticity, and aesthetic beauty is exquisite.nbsp; There are few individuals in the world that are capable of designing a historically faithful horseless carriage, and even fewer are able to build it with such quality. This is an opportunity to own a truly unique antique car designed and built by a master-craftsman, yet fabricated with modern precision and ingenuity.nbsp; The Star is fully functional, and runs and drives with little more than 100 miles since its creation.nbsp; The Star is a marvel to behold once its intricate brass, wood, and metal parts come to life and run like clockwork.nbsp; The side-by-side seating isreminiscent of a Victorian horse-drawn buggy adorned with handcarved wood trim, painted inlays and bronze hardware.nbsp; The two-cylinder engine displaces 94 cubic inches and is cooled by 4.5 gallons of water. It is capable of generating 17 horsepower. nbsp;Its top speed reaches a sedate 15-17 m.p.h.nbsp; The transmission features a 3-shoe clutch, with 3 speeds forward and 1 reverse.nbsp; The frame of the carriage is embellished with swirling sleigh rails, black canvas top and leather-bound shroud.nbsp; The wooden buggy wheels are built by an Amish wheelright, which imparts even more antique charm into this horseless carriage.nbsp; The Stars controls were designed to be practical and familiar.nbsp; A steering wheel and three-speed transmission is present instead of a primitive steering tiller and planetary transmission, which would be typical of a car built before 1900.nbsp; These considerations make the car much more manageableand fun to drive. The Star is an exceptional exhibit piece for collectors of fine precision antique machinery and classic car enthusiasts.nbsp; A must see display offered for sale in our Classic Car Showroom!nbsp; Complete video of this vehicle available for $50, refunded with vehicle purchase, and includes overnight shipping of video.nbsp; Call our classic car division at 815-385-8408 for video and/or vehicle information.
