Ruxton

The Ruxton was a unique and innovative automobile produced by the New Era Motors Company in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Designed by William Muller, the Ruxton was notable for its front-wheel drive system, which was unusual for the time. The car was produced in a limited run from 1929 to 1930, with production split between several different factories. The Ruxton's transmission unit was produced by Kissel Motors of Hartford, Wisconsin. Despite its advanced design, the Ruxton was not a commercial success, and only a few hundred were produced before the company went bankrupt in 1930. However, the Ruxton's innovative front-wheel drive system influenced later designs, and it is now regarded as an important piece of automotive history.

The Ruxton was a unique and innovative automobile that was produced by the New Era Motors Company between 1929 and 1930. It was the brainchild of William Muller, a wealthy investor who wanted to create a car that was both stylish and technologically advanced. The Ruxton was unique in that it was one of the first American cars to feature front-wheel drive, which gave it superior handling and performance compared to other cars of its time. It was also designed with aerodynamics in mind, with a sloping hood and fenders that tapered back to reduce wind resistance. Despite its advanced design, the Ruxton was a commercial failure. Only about 500 cars were produced before the company went bankrupt in 1930, unable to weather the financial pressures of the Great Depression. The Ruxton's legacy lives on, however, as an important example of American automotive innovation and design. Today, surviving Ruxton cars are highly prized by collectors and automotive enthusiasts.
