During my recent excursion to the Forney Museum of Transportation, I took a side-view snapshot of Amelia Earhart's 1923 Kissel Gold Bug Speedster. The snapshot didn't do it justice, so I am including two internet pictures of a 1923 Kissel Gold Bug Speedster from better angles. It's a gorgeous automobile. Note the suicide outrigger seat, presumably designed to transport a passenger one is not particularly fond of (meddling mother-in-law? sulky offspring?).
The Forney Museum also has a sister automobile, a 1924 Kissel Brougham Sedan, which has its own dignified beauty. (Pardon the blurry picture.)
Here is a 1923 Kissel Bougham Sedan that has just won a prize. The red wooden spokes are a delight.
