Banner Boy Buckboard (United States) - AllCarIndex

Banner Boy was a small automobile manufacturer based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, founded in 1958 by BannerWelder Inc. The company specialized in producing a unique type of vehicle known as the Banner Boy Buckboard, which drew inspiration from the simplistic design of the BRIGGS & STRATTON buckboard.

The Banner Boy Buckboard featured a minimalist design and was powered by a Briggs & Stratton 2.75 horsepower single-cylinder air-cooled engine. Unlike traditional buckboards that utilized a fifth wheel for drive, the Banner Boy Buckboard employed a more modern approach, delivering power to the right rear wheel through a centrifugal clutch and V-belt system. This design choice reflected the company's focus on simplicity and functionality.

Although the Banner Boy Buckboard was not widely produced, it represented a distinctive approach to automotive design during its time, emphasizing basic mechanics and ease of use.
