Buckingham+Wars+Motors

The Buckingham was a four cylinder model and 21.7 horse powers. It also had a hundred and ten wheel bases, and was priced just below $600.00. It had been thoroughly tested and was subjected to all manner of conditions and trials. The car was produced under the one roof in Geelong with parts from all around Australia. On December 21, 1903, The Geelong Advertiser published that the credit of manufacturing the first motor bus in these states, belongs to Humble and Sons of the Vulcan Foundry, Geelong. They then received a request for two buses to be made for use in Tasmania. Within about three years there was 400 employees engaged in the manufacturing of cars and trucks. The first car made left the factory line about spring time and when they are in full swing they will be capable of making 100 cars a week.
