- 1915 Brewster Town Landaulet - Brewster & Company had built elegant horse-drawn carriages since the early 1800s. When Brewster finally began building automobiles in 1915, they looked like carriages. Chauffeurs dealt with the 20th-century auto technology -- a quiet 55-horsepower engine, an electric starter, and electric lights -- while owners rode in 19th-century carriage comfort. Tradition eventually lost out to the rush of modernity, and Brewsters began to look like cars.
