This is a great site for not only Sears information but also a resource guide. I am surprised that some suppliers don't seem to have a web site, however if it was possible to give an email address that would be helpful.

I just saw the #1 Krotz at San Jose History Park - Vintage Car Show last weekend - I'm not sure the wind driven speedo was an original piece of equipment ? Quite impressive !

A 1909 Sears Motor Buggy appears at an impromptu auto show in the parking lot of our local supermarket on Friday nights. I might that Revell produced a 1/32 scale model of the Sears Motor Buggy back in the early 1950s. Thank you for the excellent job on your website. It is very informative.

Great site! I am looking for a highwheeler and currently interested in a 1910 Sears. Thanks for the info!

Very interesting.

Thanks for the info about the Sears motor car. I first stumbled on it in a book The Complete Encyclopedia of Motorcars 1885 to present(1969) edited by G.N.Georgano. I am a retired autoworker(GM) and recently restored my 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. I love reading the history of the automobile, going to car shows and watching Jay Leno's Garage online. Many thanks, John.

John: Just a big thanks for your site..it came out just as I started restoration work on my 1909 Sears, in 2008, along with the Sears Motor Buggy Registry. Every time I visit this site, I learn someting else... You web site has also brought Sears owners together @ The Old Car Festival in 2009, 11 & 13! Many new friends made and resources shared. This site has also assisted in adding many Sears cars to the Registry; now up to about 235, worldwide. Thanks, Sandy

An update to John Lowe's message of 10/4/11: Mr. Wilke spent an entire day at an auction just to buy the tail light for the Sears when he was restoring it. Mr. Lowe's 1911 Sears Model G Runabout is now on loan to the Classic Car Collection, Kearney, NE. We are located on the east side of Cabela's, on HWY 30 in Kearney and are open 7 days a week. You can see Mr. Lowe's car and over 190 other cars in the collection. See our web page: www.ClassicCarCollection.org

Very cool web site. The Branson Auction Fall 2013 sale catalog has listed a "1905 Sears Model K Autobuggy." The item piqued my curiousity and I found this site through a web search. From the info here it seems pretty unlikely that the vehicle for sale was built in 1905, but no matter, all just very interesting to me. I'll keep this in the back of my mind for a possible future toy. Thanks John!

We have a beautifully restored Sears, serial # 1223. It is in wonderful condition. If you would like to see it contact us at our email address.

Saw an article about these in the Horseless Carriage Gazette and thought these were pretty cool. I restore old Volkswagens, and am noticing a lot of similarities in the Sears and VWs. Maybe one day I'll be fortunate enough to find or build something like a Sears buggy.

Dear sir, Thank you for your researching the automobile sold by Sears in 1909. I have a picture of a 1909 Sears auto that my grandfather bought by mail and it came to the rail depot in Walker, MO. My Mother told me that a large crowd gathered to see it in a crate carried out of the rail car. She said it was uncrated and wheels were installed. No one knew how to drive so it was towed behind a spring wagon to their farm seven miles in the country. My mother was born in 1901 so was 8 years old. A sister about 20 yrs old was instructed as to how to steer it but no one told her how to use the brakes. In going down a hill it ran up into the wagon and broke a headlight. She was later taken to Schell City, MO and taught to drive. My grand parents family lived on top of a large hill (called Dally Hill even to this day by many)and when they took it out to drive it could never get back to the top. Grandfather would go as far as it would and someone would block it with a rock. Grandfather would walk up the hill and get horses and pull it on up. My mother said it wasn't all my Grandfather envisioned but he was proud to have one of the first cars in our county. And Mister Dally had his Automobile. You see his name was Clifford Washington Dally born 1854 in Knox County Ohio. His grand-father was a John Dally who died in Centerburg, Oh. Your page is very interesting to me. I have a 1926 Ford T, a 1941 Chevy Coupe, a 1953 Willys Army Jeep like I drove in Korean War and a 1969 Ford Ranchero. Thank you and would appreciate hearing from you. Charles E.

Hi! I stumbled across your site when researching information for my site about Sears Modern Homes. I have a scan of a full-page ad for the Motor Buggies from the Chicago Tribune dated Nov 1909 that you might want. Please email me and I can send it to you.
