1908 Sears Motor Buggy: Still in the Original Family and Still Running

1908 Sears Motor Buggy runabout

Jon Mertes of Onawa, Iowa bought the Sears Motor Buggy 107 years ago. It has outlived two generations of owners and now belongs to the grandson of its original purchaser. The Motor Buggy still runs, and apart from an engine repair and a new set of tires, is in completely original condition. When Ken Mertes drives it, he is using 107-year-old brakes!
