1910 Russell Model R "30"
1910 Russell-Knight
"22"
| Russell Motor Cars: 1910 |
|
In 1910 Russell
introduced all new models, the Model R "30" and
the Knight engined Models "22" and "38". In 1909
Russell had purchased the Canadian rights for the
Knight Sleeve Valve motor, after going to England to
study the Royal Auto Club's rigorous testing of the
Daimler built Knight engines. For 1910, Russell
imported complete Daimler built Knight engines for the
Model "22" and "38" cars. The Knight engined
cars featured standard front doors, possibly the first
in North America (the driver's side "door" was
fake). Rushmore headlights with generator or
Prestolite tank were offered.
