2009 Waltham Museum Metz Car Rally

The Waltham Museum hosted a gathering of Metz automobiles in July 2009. The Metz was made from 1909-1922 in Waltham, Massachusetts. It was a friction-drive car, powered by two rubbing discs rather than a driveshaft and differential. Here we see the Museum in downtown Waltham with various Metz vehicles. The smaller, wood-bodied cars are the early "Orient Buckboard" models made prior to 1909. When Mr. Metz took control in that year, he introduced the 2-cylinder, air-cooled Metz "Plan Car" which the purchaser assembled himself from a kit. In 1911, the cars (now 4-cylinder, 4-cycle) were assembled in the Metz factory which still stands. After WWI, Metz introduced a more standard 6-cylinder car under the "Waltham" name, but the company folded in 1922. For more information see http://metzauto.wordpress.com/.
