White Motor Company began in 1900 as a sewing machine manufacturer before transitioning into making steam-powered vehicles. By World War I, White was known for their trucks and other heavy machinery. This yellow 1917 touring car was likely one of the last produced before fully transitioning to making trucks.
This vehicle is smaller than the rest of the fleet, as it was used to tour important visitors around the park. Unique features include a carpeted floor matching that of the Old Faithful Inn.
