1906 Tourist Model K Touring
https://www.mecum.com/lots/1090718/1...del-k-touring/
The Tourist may be a relatively unknown marque today, but for a brief period before World War I, this was California’s most popular automobile. The Auto Vehicle Company of Los Angeles was founded in 1902 and experienced rapid growth, followed by an equally rapid decline. Annual production steadily grew from just 17 cars the first year, to more than 500 by 1906, and yet by 1910, it was all over.
The original price was $2500. That would be $84,479.72 today. BTW . . . the average wage earned by men in 1906 was $11.16 per week.
