A look at the rare radial engine in the one and only Adams-Farwell Car in existence.
Thought you might enjoy seeing this video. Watch it all of it because it has information at the very end about the museum where is displayed.
If any mechanical engineers out there, you may be familiar with this “hotrod”.
Between the end of the 19th Century and the stock market crash in 1929 over 200 automobile manufacturers were producing vehicles in the United States alone. This is one of the more obscure with a unique 5 cylinder engine that rotates around a stationary crankshaft.
This is the ONLY 'Adams-Farwell' automobile left in existence. They were made in Dubuque between 1890-1913. This one uses a 50 HP rotary engine similar to engines in old airplanes. With 50 HP... it probably really scooted down the roads back then !! I wonder what this one of a kind car would be worth today???
