1912 White Model 30 G.A. touring car, a notable early gasoline-powered automobile manufactured by the White Motor Company.
Initially famous for building highly successful steam-powered vehicles (which were even chosen by President William Howard Taft as the first official White House cars), the company transitioned to internal combustion engines around 1910–1911. The Model G-A (often written as GA) was their landmark 30-horsepower, 4-cylinder gasoline vehicle, and the “touring” designation indicates its open-top, multi-passenger body style.
| The White Motor Company derived from the sewing machine company started production of automobiles at the turn of the 20th century. Early White cars were steam powered.This 1911 White is an early example of the brass era gasoline powered era cars before White focused on trucks and heavy truck production. |
