Description:
This illustrated fact sheet covers automotive history of Anderson, Indiana, including brief descriptions of selected car models. Also provides material about Buckeye Manufacturing Company owner John Lambert, noting that for "many years, history books have credited the Duryea Brothers with producing America's first automobile in 1892. However, it has since been proven that in 1891, John Lambert ... successfully tested and drove a three-wheeled, surrey-topped, gasoline-powered runabout of his own design."
