ered, larger, and more expensive cars it introduced in 1904. Rambler produced 3,807 cars in 1905 ranging in price from $1,200.00 to $3,000.00 including this 5-Passenger Surrey which is sits atop a 90-inch wheelbase with power coming from an 18hp twocylinder engine with single chain drive. By mid-year 1905 this would become Rambler’s least expensive offering at $1,200.00. The canopy top was $100.00 additional. The new Ramblers also offered one lever control, a fingertip-operated ring on the steering post taking care of both increases or decreases in speed without the necessity of removing one’s hands from the steering wheel. “Even one armed men are running Ramblers,” the company proudly advertised, “one in Michigan and another in Ohio.” Thomas B. Jeffery died of a heart attack on April 2, 1910 and son Charles took over. Production increased modestly. The big change came with an all-new car in 1914. One of the most respected names in the industry was no more. The new car coming from Kenosha would be called . . . the Jeffery.
