Dorris 1-B-6 Opera Coupe
Dorris
An "opera coupe" could seat four people, but the front passenger seat was collapsible, allowing for easy access to the two-person rear seat. The height of the opera coupes also allowed for the wearing of top hats. The original owner of this car was probably wealthy enough to have a chauffeur. Specifications: 6-cylinder engine; 128 inch wheelbase; 38.4 horsepower; price new $3,250; built in St. Louis MO in 1917; acquired  2009.
