The American Tri-Car was made by the Tri-Car Co of America, Denver, Colorado, United States in 1912. It was a three-wheeler, with the one rear wheel being both the drive wheel and the only braked wheel. It was powered by a 13 hp, air-cooled 2-cylinder engine and used a planetary transmission. It seated two and had a wheelbase of 6 feet 10 inches (2.08 m). The company failed by the end of the year.
Famous quotes containing the word american:
“The keynote of American civilization is a sort of warm-hearted vulgarity. The Americans have none of the irony of the English, none of their cool poise, none of their manner. But they do have friendliness. Where an Englishman would give you his card, an American would very likely give you his shirt.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
