Another Look at the 1923 Kissel Gold Bug Speedster

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.
