Horseless Carriage

Description

Some of these can already be seen on the streets of London and Paris.  A horseless carriage is simply a 20-hp internal-combustion engine mounted on a chassis with a transmission.  It has provisions for a driver and a single passenger, though another passenger can ride in the cargo box.

Military versions may mount an autogun.
