Nielson (automobile)

The Nielson was built as a two-seater runabout equipped with a single-cylinder 12 hp air-cooled engine. The engine was located behind the seat, and was equipped with a friction transmission and double-chain drive. The vehicle was priced at $800, equivalent to $28,667 in 2025. E. A .Nielson drove his runabout to New York City and displayed it at the Selzer Garage.^[1]

Automotive historians have speculated that E .A. Nielson may have been Emil A. Nelson who had previously worked for Packard and who would do design work for Hupmobile beginning in 1908.^[1]
