Autobuggy

Some early cars were just like horse-drawn vehicles with a motor. The IHC Autobuggy has spoked wheels and a buggy-style wooden body. An engine tucked away under the floor gave a top speed of about 30 km/h via a chain drive.

This vehicle was built in 1909 by the International Harvester Company and was used as a taxi between Nudgee railway station and Cribb Island.
