This fully restored 1907 Firestone-Columbus Auto Buggy is one of only 9 remaining in the world. It is a beautiful classic brass high-wheeler with a serial number of 16, original leather upholstery and top, and all original parts, including the original toolkit and batteries. We are the third owner of this wonderful car, and you won’t find another quite like it! This is truly a unique and classic car.
The Firestone-Columbus has a two cylinder air-cooled engine. The fenders are leather, and were replaced during restoration. The tires are old and hard, and do need replacing, but everything else has been fully restored and is in beautiful condition.
This car has been lovingly maintained and owned by Ralph McNeil, aka Grandpa, who lives in the San Diego area when he's not off sailing the world or visiting friends. Ralph has been restoring cars for over 20 years, and besides building a boat and sailing around the world with his wife Connie, has also been restoring shop tools and making custom parts for his cars.
Ralph recently won a battle with cancer, and is finally able to get back in the garage and out on the road. Together with his family he enjoys joining car tours to share his passion and his amazing historical classics with the community. Ralph has a lot of exciting projects to work on, and wants to make room for more. Consider giving this wonderful horseless carriage a new home!
