The very beginning of the twentieth century was a great time of change and innovation in the United States, especially in regards to the newly burgeoning automobile industry. Making its debut first in 1906 at an auto show in New York with the slogan "The car for the discriminating few," the 1907 American Underslung, a two-seated roadster model, was one of the first vehicles to sport a design that would soon pave the way for all other cars to achieve better handling on the road.
