Description
"This closeup shows the Brush runabout sold by the Portland Company starting in 1910. Perhaps in an effort to keep the cost below $400, this automobile has no carbide headlamps, only kerosene lamps to mark its presence at night on the road."--Fletcher, David H. 'The Portland Company 1846-1982.' Charleston, S.C. : Arcadia Pub., 2002. 84.
