Gasmobile

The Gasmobile, originally called the American,[1] was an automobile first produced in 1899. The name was changed to Gasmobile in 1900 by president John H. Flager.[2] It appeared at the New York Auto Show in 1900. By 1901, 140 cars were made.[3] One of its distinctive features was an automatic starting device. After producing a six-cylinder car, the company folded in 1902.[4]
