1914 White 2 Dr. Convertible Roadster.
The White Motor Company started making steam-powered cars in 1905, but pioneer auto engineer Rollin White soon saw that internal-combustion engines were the way to go, and by 1911 the company had converted to gasoline power.
After World War I the company would focus primarily on truck manufacturing. It developed a reputation for tough, dependable vehicles, which was enhanced in the 1950s as the company acquired and absorbed Diamond T, REO and several other long-time manufacturers. White continued to build trucks until the company was dissolved in 1980.
This rare, stylish Model 30 coupe is a product of the post-steam years, featuring a four-cylinder L-head motor mated to a four-speed transmission. The 111-year-old car’s beautiful wood, brass and coachwork is in spectacular condition, and it has clearly been painstakingly looked after for a very long time.
