Ruxton Model C

The Ruxton was a revolutionary automobile featuring front-wheel drive when nearly all cars were rear-drive. Its low-slung profile was made possible by eliminating the driveshaft tunnel, resulting in exceptional handling and a modern appearance. Despite innovative engineering and beautiful design by Joseph Urban, the company failed due to financial issues during the Great Depression, making surviving examples extremely rare and valuable.
