The engine was installed in the front, driving the rear wheels through a transmission shaft. The gearbox had three forward gears, with the gearshift lever positioned to the right of the driver.[2]

The brake pedal engaged drum brakes on the rear wheels. The Model X had a wheelbase of 106 in (2,692 mm) and was offered as a 5-passenger touring car or 2-door roadster, and the advertised price of the roadster was $2,000 ($60,319 in 2021 dollars [3]).

1,100 of the cars were manufactured in 1908; it was cancelled without replacement.
