1909 McIntyre Auto Buggy High Wheeler, Horseless Carriage This Auto Buggy has been in a museum in California since the 1960's. Powered by the original 2 cylinder 20 horse power engine. We have not started the engine but it turns easily and the compression is very good, We were told it was running and driving when it went into the museum. The ignition system is complete and functional. The car does not appear to be missing anything. This is a really interesting old car and the beginning of it all. It still has a buggy whip holder on the dash. It has the original lanterns and the hand crank is included. The McIntyre Company started as the W. H. Kiblinger Company in 1887, manufacturing .
