1909 Sears Motor Buggy


Picture
Sears advertised that the Sears Motor Buggy was, "more than just a buggy with a motor." It was designed as an automobile with an angle-iron frame, four full elliptical springs, and Timken Roller bearings for each wheel.

Service Two

The engine was a 10 HP (increased to 14 HP in 1910), 2-cylinder opposed, air-cooled motor built by the Reeves Company. Power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a friction transmission and double chain drive. This combination resulted in a top speed of around 25 MPH.

The Sears rode high on 36 X 13/8 inch solid rubber tires on a wheelbase of 72 inches (87 inches for the 4 passenger Model P and the Truck models). The Sears could also be bought with 38 X 2 inch Cushion rubber tires and 34 X 3 inch Pneumatic tires. 
Several color combinations were offered including Carmen Red and Black and Brewster Green and Black.
