Detroit's first V8

[MikeWa]

A little just for fun nostalgia.

It is interesting that Detroit's first production V8 was in a motorcycle not a car. And a motorcycle with training wheels at that, because it weighed around 3200 lbs. Pick that up 'Ride Like a Pro'

Wow that is a BEAST! All that V-8 goodness, but only 45HP.

Scripps-Booth also built mini cars using motorcycle engines.
