About this postcard

A restored 1908 Waltham Orient Buckboard, a simple early motor buggy, stands on a dirt path in bare woodland at Heritage Plantation of Sandwich on Grove Street. The car has a black folding top, red chassis and wheels, and a brass radiator marked Orient. The Orient Buckboard was a low-cost, lightweight vehicle built in Waltham, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s, part of the first wave of affordable automobiles. Heritage Plantation of Sandwich, now Heritage Museums & Gardens, opened in 1969 and displays Americana and antique automobiles.
