Great-grandpa’s 1910 “Meteor”

The earliest mass-produced automobiles (ca.1910) were very different form today’s refined and sophisticated machines. They were simple and coarse, their construction guided by the principle of function over design. Their wooden bodyworks resembled those of horse-drawn carriages in more ways than one.

The “Meteor” was built in the American tradition of the 1910s, in an effort to recreate the simplicity of those early-age automobiles. Thus, it comes as no surprise that it features mostly traditional, stacked construction, except for the angular fenders (typical of that time period) and the opening doors, intended to bring a little bit of realism into the model.

I hope you all enjoy having a look at this old timer, as much as I did building it.
