This is a 7-passenger limousine in which Teddy Roosevelt rode. It has a 4-cylinder engine. Unlike most cars of
this era that had wooden-spoked wheels and a wooden steering wheel, this car has cast metal wheels and steering wheel.
The car was purchased by Captain Willard while he was U.S. Ambassador to Spain. He gave it to his daughter, Mrs.
Kermit Roosevelt (married to Teddy Roosevelt's son) who drove it around New York until 1928. Until acquired by the
Forney Museum, it was in storage.
