Van Wagoner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Van Wagoner was an American automobile manufactured between 1899 and 1900. Advertised as being "built on a simple plan that does away with several levers and push buttons", the car was built in Syracuse, New York, and could supposedly be "controlled with one hand". In 1900 the marque's name was changed to the Syracuse, in which guise it was manufactured until 1903.

It was the Syracuse Automobile Company of Syracuse, New York who produced this small electric two-seater from 1899 to 1903. The car was originally known as the Van Wagoner, after the original designer William Van Wagoner.
