Defunct American motor vehicle manufacturer

The Colt Runabout was an American Brass-era automobile built in Yonkers, New York, in 1907 by William Mason Turner. It was a two-seater, with a long hood and short tail (where a pair of spare tires were mounted), characteristic of the period, and weighing in at 1,800 lb (820 kg). It was priced at US$1500, compared to US$650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout and the two-seat Ford Model C "doctor's car" at $850, but below the $1600 of the Oakland 40, and well below even American's lowest-priced model, which was $4250 (its highest was $5250).² Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
