1902 Rambler Model C Runabout

Offered by Gooding & Company | Amelia Island, Florida | March 2025

Thomas B. Jeffrey’s first Rambler product was a bicycle in 1897. By 1900 he was into automobiles, and the Model C was the company’s first production model.

It looks like a carriage – and like many of its competitors – and is powered by a 1.6-liter horizontal single that was rated at four horsepower. It also has a two-speed gearbox.

Just four of these are known to exist, and this one, chassis 738, was restored a while back. During that work, the car was upgraded to a steering wheel in lieu of the original tiller (Rambler switched to wheels in 1904). The estimate is $70,000-$90,000. Click here for more info.
