1901-1903,
"Type" in 1904)
(catalog description)
engers
(Images are from SMCC literature and reprints, except where noted.)
Note the straight rail around the
front seat, and the visible front
seat upholstery on a flat seating surface.
image source - Automobiles of the World
Note the separate curved rails on
the left and right sides of the
seat, which the folding seatback passes between when raised. When the
seat
is completely folded, all upholstery is enclosed and the top surface of
the front is curved wood.
Note no steering shown in this and
other drawings for 1905. Also, this is the first year for the
coffin-nose hood, and the only year that the top of the hood is flat.
Note side tiller steering.
Forerunner of the fabulous Model
H's. Oddly, although considered a "speedster", the catalog shows
8hp, due to a 16" boiler vs. the 17 1/2" boiler in the Model E.
Note how the rear body panel folds out a bit to support the seat base which moves to the rear to allow legroom.
Note that cowl lamps are mounted on the front, presumably for a more sporty appearance. Continued in all catalog illustrations of H models.
Different lamps from 1906; flat
fenders and running boards vs. 1906's cycle fenders and steps;
added gauge lamp, horn, and water tank glass.
Different lamps from 1906;
added gauge lamp, and water tank
glass. Top was an option.
Geared 1:1.
This year's 20hp roadsters are first appearance of curved cowl.
"... geared a little lower, and
with its heavier wheels, tires, etc., is, perhaps,10 miles an hour
slower than the H4."
Longer hood than the H4, 23" boiler vs. 20".
curved cowl this year, vs. 1906-1907 flat dash
While the H5 body remained the same, the K received a new design for 1908. The raised panel has been eliminated below the front seat, and a rear seat on a rectangular box has been added.
Note a longer line than the F, between the rear of the rear door and the beginning of the rear seatback. "... capable of ... sustaining a speed of 70 miles an hour as long as the road will allow it."
Also available with single rumble seat or flat folding rear seat.
This is actually the same cut used in the 1908 catalog, but with fender and runningboard aprons added by hand.
Again, close inspection reveals this to be the same cut used in the 1908 catalog for the Model K, with hand additions of steel fenders, tufted upholstery, running board apron, and a new "potato" horn.
The 20hp touring car is the first to receive steel fenders.
Note the flat dash and wooden fenders. First vehicle to have top included with purchase.
Here's how you put 2, 3, or 4
people in a Model 60 - the Flat Seat, the Rumble Seat, and the removable Toy
Tonneau. All images from SMCC "Preliminary Specifications - Model
60 Ten Horsepower Runabout for 1910".
The runabout models could be had with 30 x 3 or 34 x 3 tires, while the Toy Tonneau was sold only with 31 x 3 1/2 tires.
Note many body differences from Model E2 - lower seat, lower front and rear compartment side rails, convex seat back, top surface of cowl tilted upward toward driver.

Catalog calls this one-piece 4-saet body "Roadster with Toy Tonneau". Note how the rear seat side does not flare, compared to the Model 70.
Deceptively similar in appearance to the Model 60, but many mechanical improvements including a 1 1/2" drop of the front axle relative to the spindles. Same 3 body types as the Model 60. Tire size 32 x 3 1/2.
Again this year, the Model 63 was "the same as the Model 62, except that it is equipped with two passenger tonneau which may be removed..." This time the tire size stayed the same.
Unchanged from 1910.
Unchanged from 1910.
All specifications identical to 1911 Model 62, with the odd exception that the engine turns 886 revolutions per mile vs. 1911's 739. Both years list 32 x 3 1/2 tires and 40-56 drive ratio - perhaps the drive ratio changed in 1912 and the change was missed in the catalog text.
Identical to 1911.
First year for aluminum body, "round-shouldered" hood, billed front fender, slight dip at tail of rear fender.
Very short rear fender.
High kickback in rear fender.
Note the two-tone paint - body light, hood and fenders dark.
The "Announcement for the Season
of 1913" uses the same cut for Model 77 as Model 76, similar to the 1912 catalog.
Same cut as Model 87 in 1912 catalog.
Same cut as Model 88 Mountain Wagon in 1912 catalog.
Same cut as Model 88 Express Wagon in 1912 catalog.
Same cut as Model 79 in 1913 catalog, with rear fender altered.
Appears to be the same cut as 1912 catalog, with windshield and rear fender altered.
Rear fender step is now low.
Same image as 1914 Model 812.
Same image as 1915 Model 720 brochure.
Notice the curve of the rear body
slanting forward at the top. Also, the rear of the folded top
extends
only as far as the spare tire.
This illustration is from a reprint of the SMCC Book of Motor Cars, which Foster indicates was published in 1919 and used for several years. It labels this picture "Five-Passenger Touring Car", and the price list does not list a 4-passenger touring.
Model 740 was introduced in May of 1922.
Note that the windshield is vertical, rear window is shorter than 740D, and the lower rear corner of the rear door is square. This body was made by Raulang.
