The Climber, an automobile built from 1919 to 1924 in Little Rock (Pulaski County), was designed for Arkansas’s rough roads. To publicize its abilities, a test was held in the winter of 1919-1920. A Climber was kept running constantly for 20,239 miles of “winter mud and rain over nearly impassable roads of the South.” Shown here is an advertisement from the November 20, 1919, Arkansas Gazette.
