Bob’s Car

Today they are not considered hot rods, but in their day, they really were the hot rods of their time. Brass Era automobiles are so named because of the amount of brass used instead of chrome on the headlamps, bulb horns, gauges, and window frames. When these cars were new, about 100 years ago, they were considered to be a passing fancy, a play toy for the rich and hated by the farmers. Take a look back in time to the beginning of the automobile!
