Browniekar
This roadster that places two passengers fulfilled two purposes: It was a "toy designed for "harmless sport and amusement of the young folks", and, nevertheless, a real and usable car, hence the name of the company that built it: Child's Automobile Company. It rode on a wheelbase of 66 inches and had a single-cylinder 4-stroke engine that delivered 3½ hp. Price was just $150.00.

Overview
Overview
The Browniekar was developed by William H. Birdsall, the engineer of the Mora four- and six-cylinder automobiles built in Newark, too, from 1906 to 1910. When Birdsall found out that the company's name was not appropriate for a manufacturer, it was changed to Omar Motor Car Company - Omar being an anagram for Mora.
It is associated with United States. The record gives 1908 as its date of establishment or first appearance. Activity is recorded as ending in 1911. Its recorded seat is Newark.
