Browniekar (United States) - AllCarIndex

Brownie Kar was an American automobile brand that operated from 1908 to 1911, based in Newark, New Jersey. The company was a subsidiary of Omar Motor Company and was known for producing a small two-seat roadster. This vehicle featured a compact design with a wheelbase of 66 inches (1676 mm) and was powered by a modest 3-horsepower single-cylinder engine.

The Brownie Kar was marketed as a toy-like vehicle, intended for the sport and amusement of younger drivers. It was claimed that the car could be operated by any intelligent child aged eight years or older, emphasizing its simplicity and ease of use. The top speed of the Brownie Kar was approximately 10 miles per hour (16 km/h), making it suitable for leisurely drives. The price point for this vehicle was set at a modest $150, appealing to a niche market of affordable, small automobiles. The design of the Brownie Kar was led by William H. Birdsall, who served as the chief engineer for the MORA company, with the name "Omar" being an anagram of MORA.
