1904 Regas Automobiles Sales Brochure

Classified as a light Tonneau four passenger automobile with side entrance. To design an acceptable side entrance Tonneau on a 80 inch wheelbase was a big accomplishment by The Regas Automobile Co. They did this by designing the body with either front seat tipping forward and allowing passengers large or small to enter the rear seat Tonneau. This was accomplished without unfastening any bolts, locks or catches of any kind. Hinges at the edge of the front seats allowing them to be tipped forward easily. Steel pins on the bottom entered recesses in the body floor.
