Waltham Manufacturing Co, Waltham, Mass. USA
Orient Runabout
Waltham Manufacturing Company was a manufacturer of automobiles in Waltham, Massachusetts between 1902 and 1908.
Their first car was a light model sold as the Orient Buckboard. It seated 2 passengers and sold for just USD425, making it the lowest-priced automobile available. The vertically-mounted air-cooled single-cylinder engine, situated at the rear of the car, produced 4 hp. A 2-speed transmission was fitted. The car weighed 500 lb and had a 100 mile range, though the complete lack of any bodywork made it less than practical for a long journey.
A more conventional car came in 1905 with front mounted 4 cylinder engine and chain drive. It was made until 1908.
