This beautiful contraption is an 1899 Orient Autogo Quadricycle. Only 3 of these are known to exist worldwide. The engine is a 2 1/4 HP DE Dion-Bouton. It was made in France and purchased by an American who later became an importer of the Orient cycles and the Dion-Bouton engines to the U.S. A subsequent owner, for unknown reasons, buried it in his yard where it remained for over 50 years. It was in 2005 when that man's son-in-law exhumed it and had it restored to the impeccable condition as you see it now.
