1894 Haynes Pioneer

The Haynes Automobile Company was one of many small companies that built cars in the United States in the first decades of the 20th century, started after Elwood Haynes came up with the plan to build a gasoline engined vehicle.

That vehicle took its first test run on July 4, 1894. The three men went into business together, forming the Haynes-Apperson Company in 1896.

Named Pioneer this four-wheeled vehicle has an open framework carrying machinery and a buggy-style body without a top.
The car is crank started and has a chain drive and a steering tiller. The automobile does not operate in reverse. The gasoline tank is beneath the floor of the automobile. The vehicle weighs about 1,000 pounds.
