Market commentary

Highwheelers are a peculiar American branch of the automobiles history tree. Designed with high clearance to negotiate the deeply rutted lanes of the rural Midwest and West, they flourished among farmers for a few years but were quickly pushed into obscurity by the Ford. They seem to be enjoying a resurgence of interest from collectors and the buyer of this well restored Columbus Buggymobile got a rare example for a reasonable price.
