Colonial (1920 automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 hard-top, 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.
