Colonial (1920 automobile)
- Colonial (1920 automobile)
-
The Colonial was an American automobile manufactured only in 1920.
The car came with an own-make engine, a straight-eight; it also featured disc wheels, with an extra pair mounted at the side as spares. The body was a hardtop, calibrated so that the driver could turn it into either a sedan or a touring car simply by rearranging the windows. Only one car was completed.
The Colonial is chiefly remembered today because it was the first American car to feature four-wheel hydraulic brakes.
