The Black was a brass era United States automobile, built at 124 East Ohio Street,[1] Chicago, Illinois, in 1906.

It was a high wheeler buggy priced at a surprisingly low US$375-$450,[2] when Gale's Model A was US$500,[3] the high-volume Oldsmobile Runabout went for US$650,[4] and the Ford "Doctor's Car" was US$850.[5]

The Black featured a 10 hp (7.5 kW) two-cylinder air-cooled gasoline engine, chain drive, wheel steering and (unusual for the era) double brakes.[6] It bragged speeds of 2-25 mph (3.2–40 km/h) and mileage of 30mpg (12.75 l/100 km).[6]

Surreys and "top motor buggies" were also advertised.[6]

Black Crow and Chicago Motor Buggy

From 1909 to 1911, Black sold a rebadged Crow-Elkhart automobile as the "Black Crow".[7] In addition to Black and Black Crow names, during 1908 and 1909,[8] the company also sold a two-cylinder, high-wheeler under the Chicago Motor Buggy name.[7]
