This Climber, a 1923 Model 6-50 four-door touring car, is one of only two of the Arkansas-built cars known to still exist. Built from 1919 to 1924, the car was designed for Arkansas’s rough roads. To publicize its abilities, a test was held in the winter of 1919–20. A Climber was kept running constantly for 20,239 miles of rain and mud over nearly impassable southern roads.
