1919 Kissel 6-45 Speedster

Beginning in 1906 and until the First World War, George and Will Kissel built the Kissel Kar in Hartford, Wisconsin. Despite their conservative nature, the brothers set about building very progressive and stylish automobiles, including a rakish speedster that first appeared for 1918. The Kissel featured here is the oldest Speedster of the 37 known to exist.
