This lightweight convertible buggy was ideally suited to the travelling doctor's encounters will all types of weather and road conditions. By closing the roll-back door curtains, the driver was sheltered from the weather. Fouts & Hunter produced a line of durable, reasonably-priced buggies. In addition to comfort at a low cost, the company promised that this vehicle "Keeps you in better humor and prolongs your life." There is a removable windshield added to this Doctor's Buggy, making it an open or closed vehicle by the simplest mechanical device.
