They ran on a 115 in (2,900 mm) wheelbase and had a 27 hp (20 kW) engine 3+3⁄8 in × 5 in (86 mm × 127 mm) and left-hand drive.^[1] The speedster was US$750 and the tourer $850, compared to $650 for the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout.^[2]

The Vulcan Power Wagon truck was produced around 1915, at least some under license by Driggs-Seabury, and was rated at three to seven tons depending on model.^[3]^[4]
