"It spins like a top." That's how Adams-Farwell described the engine. This Adams-Farwell Series 6 40/45 hp touring car, with a 5 cylinder engine of 490.9 cu in (8,044 cc) and coachwork by Connolly Carriage & Buggy Co. (1906) is the only known Adams-Farwell in existence.

It is on display at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. Automotive Collections Manager, Jay Hubbard, points out some of the features of this exceptionally unusual car, and fires her up for a spin to let visitors at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance enjoy its mechanical brilliance.
