- Passengers Being Driven in an Adams-Farwell Taxicab, circa 1905 - Built in Dubuque, Iowa, from 1905 to 1912, Adams-Farwell automobiles were distinguished by rear-mounted rotary engines. The cylinders and crankcase revolved around a fixed vertical shaft, and power was sent to the gearbox via bevel gears. "It spins like a top," according to the company's slogan. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- its novelty, the Adams-Farwell was never a strong seller.
