Henry’s Hudson

Vintage.es has some nice pix of Henry with his first 1896 car. The sequence runs from original 1896, with Henry looking dapper in his handlebar mustache, to the late anniversary occasions, with Henry not quite all there.

I’ve been focusing on Hudson lately, so one thing stands out immediately in the details. Henry’s first car was a Stepdown. The frame is several inches UNDER the axles, giving it a lower center of gravity than other experimental buggies.
