Discovered by Long Island Auto Museum owner Henry Austin Clark Jr, it is possibly the earliest hemi combustion design, and was Guaranteed to do 55 mph... that is remarkable for 1906. It was a nearly 650 cu in engine, and 4 cylinders.

This one was found in a basement in New Hyde Park New Jersey, where it had been for decades, and they bough tit for 100 dollars. It took 7 years to restore
