Sears!
Likely a model H or a J if I recall correctly?
The much anticipated debut of the Sears coincided with the model T Ford in late 1908 as a 1909 model "Car for the masses"!

Also a guy in our Dallas club that has one as a bookend to his Model T collection. He takes it out and runs it.

This one participated on the 1984 St. George HCCA 1&2 cyl Tour. It ran quite well.
Rich
The air cooled engine.
I previously mentioned riding in a 1-cyl Brush that towed it a couple dozen miles. We both had fallen behind the rescue trailer.Rich
When did I do that?

Re: FJ - Picked Up The Oldest Single Family Owned Vehicle I Have Transported That Was Not A Model T Today ….
I have wanted one of these for a very long time. When I was probably about ten, on one of my grandparent's bookshelves, I discovered a very old hardbound farmer's reference book that had old advertisements in the back. One of the advertisements was for the Sears automobile! I have wanted one ever since!
I have gotten close a couple times. A couple of really bad project piles that I probably wisely decided against. And a couple times, mostly intact cars that were well worth restoring. One, The fellow had two of them. One beautifully restored that was priced way beyond anything I could consider. And the other, rough but intact, and fairly complete. I spent more than an hour looking it over, and a couple more hours looking at the nice one and listening to the old fellow's stories of days gone by. His asking price was a bit high for the rough one, so i left. A couple days later I called him back on the phone. We chatted for a bit, discussed the Sears, and the price. We came to an agreement on a fair compromise, And I made plans to go make the purchase the following week. Two days later, the fellow passed away.
I talked with his son that following week. But he didn't like the price we had agreed upon. I eventually bought another early two cylinder car, not a Sears. I also later found out that after about a year of trying to sell his dad's Sears, the son sold it for less than I had offered.
