Designed and built by Detroit artist & engineer James Scripps Booth, it had the usual two wheels (wooden-spoked, 37 inches (940 mm)), plus two pairs of smaller, retractable outrigger wheels in the three-seater body. Fitted with wheel steering, it had a 45 hp (33.5 kW) V8 engine (3.5 in × 5 in (89 mm × 127 mm), 384.8 cu in (6,306 cm3)), the first of its kind from a Detroit company, with an external copper tube radiator, and a weight of 3,200 pounds (1,500 kg).
