Featured Unique Classic of The Day: The 1914 Knox “Little Six” 🏁
The “Supercar” of its time the Knox “Little Six” was anything but little! The Knox Model 46 carried a massive 496-cubic-inch inline six-cylinder engine, larger in displacement than many V8s that came decades later.
It rode on roughly a 134-inch wheelbase and stretched about 195 inches long. It stood approximately 84 inches tall, nearly 7 feet.
Like many automobiles of the era, braking was handled mechanically at the rear wheels, operated through hand and foot controls.
Because early roads were rough and tire failures were common, the Knox carried two full-size spares!!
Only six Model 46 “Little Sixes” are reportedly known to have been produced, with just two believed to survive today.
The Model 46 reportedly sold for around $4,350 in 1914, putting it firmly into the luxury-car category.
