Adams-Farwell automobile, with a rotary engine

 

If you're a vintage car buff or even if you're not, this is an amazing motor......a 5 cylinder air cooled radial design from 1906. Way back at the turn of the century 1900, as autos were being developed, lots of people created some fantastic ideas and made them work.......totally awesome, is highly recommend this video to watch..............

This is the ONLY Adams-Farwell automobile left in existence. They were made in Dubuque , Iowa , between 1890-1913. This 1906 version has a 50 HP rotary
engine similar to engines in old airplanes. With 50 HP... it probably really scooted down the roads!
