1916 Woods Mobilette Model 5, built in Harvey.
"The Woods Mobilette automobiles were built in Harvey, Illinois between 1913 and 1917. The car was touted as “America’s First Cyclecar”, one of over 233 cyclecar companies which existed in North America for only a short period of time. Mr. Francis A. Woods' first Mobilette prototype Model No. 1 was built by Mr. Woods in 1910. Sometime during 1911-1912 Mr. Woods built the Model No. 2, which was powered by a four cylinder 12 HP air cooled engine. Model No. 3 was Mr. Woods first production model with both staggered seat (Sociable) and Tandem seating roadster being powered by a 12 HP water cooled Woods Mobilette engine. The Mobilette engines were foundered by several foundries over the course of production. The Model No’s. 4 – 4A’s consisted mostly of specialty small trucks both pickup and panel truck types."
