1909 Ad Stutz American Motor Car Gadabout Wayfarer - ORIGINAL ADVERTISING CL6

This is a RARE original 1909 black and white print ad for the American Motor Car Company, featuring images of the Traveler, Tourist, Roadster, Wayfarer, Speedster, Gadabout and Limousine. This company was only in operation from 1906 until 1913. Harry C. Stutz was the designer of the first American Motor Car automobile. Noting the pricing on the vehicles, it is not surprising this company failed so quickly given that $4,000 in 1909 is about equivalent to $96,000 today. Perhaps one of the most rare antique car ads from this era we've encountered.
