It was a two-seater, with a long hood and short tail (where a pair of spare tires were mounted), characteristic of the period,[1] and weighing in at Template:Cvt. It was priced at US$1500,[1] compared to US$650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout[3] and the two-seat Ford Model C "doctor's car" at $850,[4] but below the $1600 of the Oakland 40,[5] and well below even American's lowest-priced model, which was $4250 (its highest was $5250).[6]
The Runabout's 477-in3 (7819 cc) (4.5×5.0-inch, 114×127 mm) six-cylinder produced 40 hp (30 kW), and Colt claimed the car could reach 60 mph (100 km/h).
