Brewster Simplex Crane Model 5 Touring Convertible 1917

Description

This seven-passenger touring convertible with a body by Brewster was a very luxurious automobile in 1917.
Brewster constructed the body from the finest materials, and the chassis and the engine were far from cheap.
In 1917 the cost of the chassis alone was around $7,000.
Compared to the price of a new Model T Ford, which was about $400 complete, the Crane-Simplex was quite expensive.
It was also quite rare; the cars were built in very low numbers and the owners were the wealthy and the powerful.

TESTIMONIALS

I am not a natural flatterer, I like to think that I "tell it like it is", politely I hope. So when I tell you that I am very impressed by the contents of your website, it is just not English politeness. I of course love the subject matter but you deal with it in an energetic and respectful manner. I am overwhelmed by the research that has gone into compiling the list of coachbuilders/bodybuilders for Europe and North America. I have never heard of the vast majority of them. Congratulations on an excellent website.
