1912 Rambler Cross Country Car Brass Era Pre-WWI Auto Gas Electric Motor ad For Sale

1912 Rambler Cross Country Car Ad – Pre-WWI Auto with Gasoline & Electric Motor

Original 1912 antique advertisement for the Rambler Cross Country automobile, issued by the Thomas B. Jeffery Company and published in Life magazine to promote the upcoming 1913 model. This pre-WWI era ad highlights a groundbreaking dual-power touring car, equipped with both a unit gasoline engine and an electric motor — an early example of hybrid engineering.

The layout features technical line art of the drivetrain and chassis, along with a detailed side view of the open-top Rambler. Period copy emphasizes the car’s reliability, construction quality, and a factory-backed 10,000-mile guarantee — bold claims for the brass era of American motoring.
