farmer52 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Very interesting video for anyone interested in antique cars.This is the ONLY Adams-Farwell automobile left in existence. They were madein Dubuque, Iowa, between 1890-1913. This 1906 version has a 50 HP rotaryengine similar to engines in old airplanes. With 50 HP... it probablyreally scooted down the road!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0XbqHUAI-0 2 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33980-1906-adams-farwell-automobile-wrotary-engine/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
