Haynes-Apperson

Haynes-Apperson

Haynes-Apperson Company was a manufacturer of Brass Era automobiles in Kokomo, Indiana from 1896 to 1905. The company was founded by Elwood Haynes and brothers Elmer and Edgar Apperson. In 1894, the trio built one of the first gasoline powered vehicles in the United States, at Aperson's Riverside Machine Works. [Georgano, G. N. "Cars: Early and Vintage, 1886-1930". (London: Grange-Universal, 1985).] In 1902, the brothers left to form the Apperson automobile company, and in 1905, Haynes-Apperson became Haynes Automobile Company.

The 1904 "Haynes-Apperson Light Car" was a runabout seating two passengers, selling for US$1550. The horizontal-mounted water-cooled flat twin, situated at the rear of the car, produced 11 hp (8.2 kW). A 3-speed transmission was fitted, and the car used an angle iron frame. The "Tonneau" had a similar flat-twin of 17 hp (12.7 kW), situated at the front of the car, and three-speed transmission was fitted. The angle iron-framed car weighed 2300 lb (1043 kg), seated five, and sold for US$2500. An 1894 Haynes is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
