1929 Ruxton
Roadster

   

Ruxton was a troubled manufacturer from before the word go. Designed by William Muller the Ruxton uses
frontwheel drive (which explains why the front wheels are so far forward of the radiator) and sits about ten
inches lower than the average car of the period. Running boards were never part of the Ruxton design but odd
paint colors were. An art deco griffin stands as the cars logo. Many of the examples built used the cat-eye
Woodlite headlamps (personally some of my favorite headlamps of all time).
