From the Archives: McIntyre high wheeler This horseless beauty graced the pages of Hemmings Motor News in the July 1974 issue. McIntyre was originally the Kiblinger Company Carriage Works, located in Auburn, Indiana, a hotbed of classic automobile history and home to over 10 automobile companies. The Kiblinger Company became McIntyre in 1909 and the production of these horseless high wheelers commenced. From the seller’s description: Buggy style high wheeler painted black with red wheels and undercarriage pin striped in yellow. Solid tires, 2-cylinder engine, very rare. Only 13 remaining and only 2 of this style. $5,000 includes trailer. McIntyre suffered the same fate as many of the buggy builders of that era. Despite their attempt to make more conventional cars such as the Model 6-40 Limited Touring car and the Model 4-25 Touring car, the company went into receivership in 1915. The Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum at one time had a 1909 buggy just like the one featured in Hemmings and may still have it. They also have other McIntyre cars on display including a 1913 Imp cyclecar and a 1907 Kiblinger. It’s hard to gauge what these cars would be worth today, but the original McIntyres sold for around $500 back in 1909, which equates to around $12,000 today. The $5,000 price tag in 1974 would come out to $24,000 in 2014 dollars. from Hemmings Daily - News for the collector car enthusiast blog.hemmings/index.php/2014/12/31/from-the-archives-mcintyre-high-wheeler/ Sourced by CA DMV registration services online.
