The Simplex Automobile Company built costly, ultra-high quality automobiles. Simplex cars were available in chassis form only, which meant that the potential owner would need to contract with a custom coachbuilder for the car�s body, an expensive proposition. This car�s body was built by Brewster and Company, a firm well known for their quality craftsmanship.
