Thomas B. Jeffery, inventor of the clincher tire and railroad velocipede, produced and sold Rambler bicycles in Chicago from 1878 to 1900. In 1897, Jeffery began experimenting with his first automobile. In 1900, he sold his bicycle business and purchased a plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin, where he began manufacturing one-cylinder automobiles. When the first Jeffery-built Rambler automobile was offered for sale in the spring of 1902, it marked the introduction of the world's second mass-produced car -- a year after Oldsmobile and a year ahead of Ford.
All minor and many major repairs can be made to the engine of this 1912 Rambler without removing it from the chassis. The upper and lower crankcase is one piece, allowing all bearing adjustments and inspections to be made through a removable side plate.
The 1912 Rambler was used in the 1997 blockbuster movie, "Titanic," winner of 11 Academy Awards. It appears in the dock scenes prior to the ship's departure from Southampton, England.
And now we have this:

Endurance sold cars during this period. Three veterans of the road were photographed in front of Chicago's Blackstone Hotel, just before they departed "in the early morning of September 27 for the 320-mile run to Toledo in one day." The car is the famous Rambler Cross Country.

Actually, one assumes it's no big deal, unless RightCoast is upset about it--and it is further evidence that when primitives need automotive information, they come here, rather than going to the cobweb-infested automotive forum on Skins's island.
