The Fossmobile - Canada’s First Gas Engine Automobile

The original Fossmobile driving the streets of Sherbrooke, Quebec – Canada’s first successful gasoline engine automobile, built in 1897 by George Foote Foss

Period correct no-name, 1-cylinder engine, 3 ¾ hp – Cast Steel and fully restored

Period all wood body donated and restored, along with a custom-made seat, to the exact specifications. Completed by F.J. Miller Custom Woodworks

Original period correct runabout chassis in the process of being restored.

Fully rolling chassis with white tires, as carbon was added to rubber only after 1900

Never has the Fossmobile (original or tribute) been seen with an engine mounted to the front. We have now advanced to that key point of the project
