1912-1913 Henderson touring automobile

Artist's depiction of a 1912-1913 Henderson Model 46 touring car. Label on back: "The Henderson 5-passenger touring car, Model 46. Price $1385. Made by the Henderson Motor Car Co., Indianapolis, Indiana. The Henderson Model 46, $1385. Built by Henderson Motor Car Company, Indianapolis. The Henderson, Indianapolis' latest popular priced car, has many features heretofore limited to higher priced cars. The designer has adopted many luxuries approved by European engineers. While the Henderson embodies many departures from the conventional American design, it is in no manner experimental, since each of its features have been proven convenient and practical either here or across the water. Some of the specifications are unusual. The gasoline tank is located under the cowl of the dash giving the shortest possible gasoline line to the carburetor and making possible unusually strong gravity pressure. Left hand drive is adopted with a four-inch gear shift lever located between the cushions of the front seats, making the controlling of the car as simple as electric. Other features are: 40-44 h.p.; Dynamo electric lighting system; self starter and inset speedometer and grade indicator." Handwritten on back: "Henderson, ca. 1912-13."
